Summer Internship provides the opportunities for students to engage in a full-time job in the summer term, which spans from mid-May to end of August. Students who are interested in applying for summer internships have to submit their applications to the company directly.

During the period, students are employed as temporary employees with an employment contract complying with the relevant labour ordinance of the HKSAR and that of the PRC if students are required to work in the Mainland. Usually companies would assign duties related to the students' fields of study. If the project duration spans over the summer period and the students would like to continue the work, they can discuss with professors and arrange to continue the work as their final year projects subject to approval of their departments.
