ACADEMIC-INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES
Industry Projects
Industry Projects are undertaken by students in collaboration with an industry supervisor and an academic supervisor at the University. Organizations can work with an individual student or a small group. Industry projects are a valuable way for students to understand the wider demands of the business in a supportive and nurturing environment. For project providers, industry projects offer the chance to work with engaged and committed students on a range of ideas without interruption or preconception.
Guest Sessions
Guest lecturers can be an incredible asset to a course. Guest lecturers bring outside knowledge and expertise to the class and can expose students to new perspectives and approaches to solving public challenges. Guest lecturers can provide students the opportunity to contextualize the knowledge and skills that they have developed.
Site Visits
Site visits offer a unique opportunity to go on a tour of an organization’s work places with a group of students to gain inside knowledge about the industry directly from the professionals within the organization. The student can explore the environment of the work place and how the professionals work in real life.

INTERNSHIPS

The internship is designed to enable students to:

- Gain first-hand experience of a real working environment and, in particular, the problems encountered in human, financial and other resource terms, in trying to meet organizational objectives, and understand how such problems are tackled;
- Demonstrate the ability to understand the role in the work of the organization by implementing instructions, directing, understanding, assuring appropriate actions, and successfully carrying out tasks assigned;
- Develop interpersonal and technical skills, as well as competencies necessary for successful completion of work;
- Consider and discuss with colleagues and supervisors the relationship between the theoretical concepts and the practical situations they will come across; and apply careful thoughts to ways in which this experience may help students to plan for the future.
