Internships equip students with the experience, exposure, professional knowledge, transferable skills and networking opportunities that are critical for developing their employability or ‘readiness for work’.
In coordination with the Student Affairs Office (SAO), we regularly update Social Sciences students about information of openings of student internships offered by employers in Hong Kong, mainland China and overseas. Highlighted in these updates is the information of internship programmes that cater specifically to the abilities and interests of our Social Sciences students.

They participated in a research on mothers from socially-disadvantaged backgrounds. Information of the research findings can be found in the press releases (in Chinese version only) (Press 1 / Press 2).
