Mass Communication Student Internship Program (SIP) Sends 150 Students to Media Institutions for Hands-On Experience
21 Sep 2023The Mass Communication department within the Faculty of Al-Alsun and Mass Communication sent a total of 150 students to various media institutions for internship and training programs throughout the 2022/2023 academic year, as part of its Student Internship Program (SIP).
SIP has forged partnerships with advertising agencies and media training centers in the fields of voice-over, dubbing, e-marketing, and social media management. These internships provided students with invaluable exposure to the media industry, enabling them to confront real-world career challenges.
Completion of a minimum of 30 hours of training or internships within a media institution is a prerequisite for Mass Communication students to obtain their bachelor’s degree. This requirement ensures that students develop a robust professional foundation to complement the theoretical and practical knowledge gained on the MIU campus.
The recent internships build upon SIP’s continued commitment to providing essential skill development for students. In August 2021 a batch of 32 students completed their mass media skills training at The Middle East News Agency. Subsequently, in September 2021, the second and third batches, consisting of 50 students each, joined the voice-over training and e-marketing training at Maspero,
In pursuit of their goal to equip students with essential skills, SIP remains committed to enrolling its students in pivotal training programs and internships. These opportunities allow students to immerse themselves in the media industry, connect with seasoned professionals, and establish a competitive edge in the ever-evolving media landscape.
Looking ahead, the department is already planning its seventh batch of internships at Pronto FM, offering students a chance to gain expertise in Dubbing and Advanced Digital Marketing skills.
