Our thoughts: “doing what & when…”
1. Your interests, passions, & goals (careers?)
2. Adventurous spirit, extending the horizon
3. Experiential vs regular classroom learning
4. People-skills or relatedness
5. The pragmatic e.g., time, other courses or program requirements
6. Resources available

Sharing by past interns…
1.How should you choose your internship? Based on your
interest, history of giving out good grades, location?
2.Who would be more suitable for doing an “internship” than an
“exchange” programme?
3.What happens if you have enrolled to internship, but later find
out that your application to Exchange Program has been
accepted and clashes with the internship period?
