Work-Integrated Education (WIE)

Work-Integrated Education (WIE) is work-based learning experiences where students learn to connect classroom theory with practical workplace applications through on-the-job work placements. It aims to enhance students’ professional competencies and all-roundedness during their training in the workplace. All students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English Studies for the Professions (BAESP) are required to complete WIE to earn the three training credits to be eligible for graduation.

The objectives of WIE are to enable students to:

• apply knowledge and skills learned to the workplace
• have a better understanding of the workplace ethos
• appreciate the role of languages in professional workplaces
• enhance their generic skills and nurture their personal development
• identify their career interests and prepare for future employment
