Our thoughts: “doing what & when…”

1. Your interests, passions, & goals (careers?)

2. Adventurous spirit, extending the horizon

3. Experiential vs regular classroom learning

4. People-skills or relatedness

5. The pragmatic e.g., time, other courses or program requirements

6. Resources available

Students’ Sharing

Sharing by Vanessa & Alex

1.How should you choose your internship? Based on your

interest, history of giving out good grades, location?

2.Who would be more suitable for doing an “internship” than

an “exchange” programme?

3. What’s the best time (academic year; summer/ term-time) to

conduct SIGC programmes?
