Internship Report module (CP51012)

The Internship Report is a detailed account of a student's practical work experience during an internship and its links to the aims and intended learning outcomes of the chosen programme and the modules they have studied. It documents the tasks performed, skills acquired, and insights gained throughout the internship period

The report typically includes an introduction to the host organisation, a description of the projects undertaken, and an analysis of the learning outcomes. It also reflects on how the internship experience relates to the student's academic studies and future career aspirations.

The purpose of the academic report is to demonstrate the student's ability to apply theoretical knowledge in a real-world setting, showcasing their professional development and readiness for the job market.
