The minimum internship duration is 28 calendar days (i.e. 4 consecutive weeks), and the maximum duration is 90 calendar days (i.e. 3 consecutive months) per student intern. Nevertheless, an intern cannot receive allowance under the Scheme for more than three months (on an accumulative basis) in an academic year. Application for Semester B 2023/24 is now open.
Financial Arrangement
Upon successful completion of the internship, the allowance will be disbursed via CityU Finance Office to students directly.
The internships should end on or before 30 April 2024 for allowance to be disbursed under Semester B Internships. The allowance under Semester B 2023/24 internship is estimated to be disbursed to eligible students in July 2024.
