    ITN3001 Field Experience (Job Placement) provides students an experiential learning opportunity to apply concepts and knowledge learnt in their academic study to real world work environment.  This experience will enable students to gain a better understanding of the nature of business and allow them to explore potential career paths upon graduation.

    Prior to the internship, a briefing on the eligibility, types of internship, curriculum requirements and relevant information regarding the internship module will be offered to students. Upon approval of the internship, students will be assigned the Internship Tutor and the Company Supervisor.
