1. Is this internship credit-bearing for students?
Yes. For undergraduates, it is a graduation requirement.
2. Do I need to assess the student’s work?
Each student will be supervised and assessed by a faculty supervisor and designated supervisor from your organisation. The faculty supervisor will act as a mentor as well as a contact point for the organization.
Organisation supervisors will be invited to complete work assessment, report and presentation evaluations, which provide valuable input toward the student’s academic assessment.
3. Are interns covered by insurance?
NTU students who have registered their internships are covered under the NTU Group Personal Accident Insurance policy (24-hour).
