All Journalism students will undertake a nongraded and zero-credit professional internship. The internship is normally of at least two months full-time employment or professional practice during the summer between the third and fourth years but it can be a minimum of 160 hours of work. Students are required to conform to all reasonable requirements of their internship employer. Both the employer and the student file reports with the Journalism Department after the internship. Chinese Journalism students are expected to take their internship in the Chinese-language media or broadcast news organizations and International Journalism students to take theirs in the English language media. The department will do its best to help students who wish to intern overseas but cannot promise help with travel or other expenses.
