What is an Internship?

July 16, 2022

An Internship is a period of work placement conducted with an appropriately selected organization. This experiential learning requires students to undertake a tailored and mapped work plan to match the content covered in the student’s program of study. Internships can be physical or online. The online internship program allows students to gain practical experience while working remotely, without being physically present at the actual placement location.

Students at Khalifa University must complete a minimum of 8 weeks of internship placement in order to graduate. Host organizations will treat internship students as regular employees, following the same working hours and rules.
