CS3000 Professional Career Development Internship

Course Overview

CS3000 Professional Career Development Internship is designed to provide students with practical exposure and hands-on experience in areas related to research and professional development. This course aims to prepare students for co-curricular activities relevant to any related computer science fields while equipping them with advanced technical and non-technical skills to excel in both industry and academic research.

This course bridges academic knowledge with professional R&D practice by requiring students to complete a total of 160 hours (equivalent to 4 weeks of full-time work) of hands-on internship work in industry, academia, or research projects. Students may fulfil the requirement through placements of their choice (e.g. software development, cybersecurity, or faculty-led research projects), with no maximum duration constraint; prior internship experience may be recognised subject to approval by the Internship Coordinator.
