校企協作教育

Objectives

Work-Integrated Education (WIE) is a critical component of PolyU’s undergraduate curriculum. It aims to strengthen students’ all-round developments as well as their professional trainings before they enter the fast-changing and competitive work environments.

At the Department of Chinese History and Culture, all students must enroll in this subject under the code of CHC313 in order to engage in a 160-hour placement, which will give them 3 credits in return before their graduations. While students are responsible for identifying and applying for internship positions themselves, CHC’s WIE Coordinator and workplaces’ supervisors play special roles in overseeing or shaping students’ WIE experiences.

BACHC Students: All students must fulfill the 3 “WIE credits” in order to graduate.
For 4 years programme: you are recommended to complete this requirement during summer term of the second or third year.
For SY programme: you are recommended to complete this requirement during the summer term of the first year.

160-hour internship through one or two placements (for the latter, 80 hours each);
Full-time or part-time; locally, mainland, or international;
Possible areas:

Museum and cultural heritage

Submit a WIE Application Form (either by email or in person) to the department’s General Office at least one week before starting the internship. The office will then forward the form to CHC’s WIE Coordinator for approval.
Complete the 160-hour internship(s).
Before the internship’s last day, seek your supervisor to complete the WIE Assessment Report for evaluating your work performance.
After finishing WIE, submit the following documents to the department’s General Office (either by email or in person) within 2 weeks:

WIE Work Record

Student WIE Written Report (Photo or video recordings (if any))

The General Office will then forward the documents to CHC’s WIE Coordinator for examination. Either a pass or a fail will be given based on the WIE Portfolio.

What activities will be counted as WIE?
