Background of Work-Integrated Education
Work-Integrated Education (WIE) is a mandatory component in the curriculum of all PolyU UGC-funded undergraduate degree programmes. WIE at PolyU aims to provide students with a work-based learning experience through internship that takes place in a real-life work environment which is relevant to the students’ chosen professions. On completion, students will be able to demonstrate one or more of the following WIE learning outcomes:
- appropriate knowledge, skills and techniques necessary for professional development;
- competency and effectiveness in delivering professional performance, or high ethical standards in the professional attributes;
- effective communication or information management skills, critical thinking, analytical ability and entrepreneurship or leadership;
- care and concern for the community at a local, national and international level.
