DW-3001 INTERNSHIP
Description
The Internship programme is one of the semester-long optional modules under the Discovery Year which all 3rd Year UBDSBE GenNext students may take before their final year which carries 16 modular credits in the degree programme.
A student who chooses to do internship will spend working full time in a company, organisation or government agency within or outside Brunei Darussalam. During this internship period, the student will be expected to develop work skills, leadership qualities, team work and a suite of soft skills appropriate to the global workplace. At the end of the internship, each student will be required to submit a type-written report of 3,000 to 5,000 words, as well as an oral presentation describing his/her work experiences and chosen research topic (if applicable).
In the written report and oral presentation, the student will be assessed on the following skills such as creativity, critical thinking, decision making, interpersonal communication, collaboration with peers and other workplace colleagues, and social responsibility as well as engaging information and communication technology and social media in supporting their presentation. In addition, the student should also demonstrate the ability to collect, store, interpret and disseminate information appropriate to the workplace culture.
Learning Goals
The fundamental value of Internship Programme consists of extending the process of learning and development beyond the confines of the University into actual working environments. The programme therefore aims to:
- Enable students to relate and where feasible apply their theoretical knowledge to βreal worldβ situations and demands.
- Accustom students to form work discipline and rigour which may vary considerably from those typically associated with undergraduate academic work.
- Provide opportunities for students to develop an enhanced sense of responsibility and maturity, social skills and competence so that they can function efficiently and professionally upon graduation.
- Enable students to enhance their reporting, communication and presentation skills.
- Provide the opportunity for students to integrate different academic fields.
- Create an awareness of the potential learning within mainly non-academic working environments.
- Enable the UBD School of Business and Economics to maintain and develop links and cooperation with government departments and commercial organizations in ways that can help strengthen the academic programme to meet more closely with the development and labour power needs of Negara Brunei Darussalam.
