Internship Guidelines

Internship is a key learning component of the FinTech Application Program, aimed at helping students apply classroom knowledge to real-world industry settings, gain early exposure to workplace operations, accumulate practical experience, and prepare for further studies or future employment.

Through curriculum planning and program design, the department guides students to participate in internships at appropriate stages of their learning, making practical experience an integral part of the academic journey rather than an additional burden.

Learning Objectives of Internships

Through the internship program, students can achieve the following learning objectives:

  • Apply financial, technological, and cross-domain knowledge in real work scenarios

  • Understand the operational models of FinTech-related industries

  • Develop workplace communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills

  • Explore personal career paths early and build a foundation for future development

Recommended Academic Stage for Internship Participation

It is generally recommended that students participate in internships after acquiring a certain level of professional foundation to ensure effective learning outcomes.

Most students typically engage in internships:

  • After completing foundational and core courses

  • Or during the upper-middle years of study

Students should select an appropriate internship timing based on personal learning progress and departmental planning.

Actual internship arrangements must still comply with the department's course requirements and relevant university regulations.

Types of Internships and Learning Formats

The department offers diverse internship formats, which may vary by year and available partnerships, and can include:

  • Internships at financial institutions (e.g., banks, securities, insurance)
  • Internships at FinTech or IT-related companies
  • Practical learning related to technology, data analysis, or systems applications
  • Other internship formats approved by the department

Students can use different internship formats to understand the practical applications of FinTech across various industries.

Internship and Course Integration

Internships are not independent from coursework but are integrated with the learning plan.

When planning an internship, students should consider:

  • Balancing internship with the semester’s course load

  • Whether credits are recognized or course requirements are affected

  • Compliance with application and review procedures announced by the department

Students are advised to plan early and arrange internships in alignment with the department’s guidelines and course schedule.
