Elevating your Educational Experience through Overseas Practical Training
King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi
Reinvent Yourself:
Discover the Rewards of Overseas Internship
Internship has become an integral part in higher education. Students
learn better and faster when they go through practical training in
companies before graduating from universities. Better still, overseas
internship offers students a chance to be exposed to other cultures at
placement. As a result, King Mongkut’s University of Technology
Thonburi (KMUTT) in 2017 initiated the Taiwan-KMUTT Internship
Program (TKIP) with the following aims:
-
Exchange of internship students between KMUTT and selected universities in Taiwan in research labs and KMUTT-affiliated companies.
-
Cultural exchanges and cross-learning between KMUTT and Taiwanese students
The establishment of TKIP is very timely, as the new Taiwanese government elected in 2016 has a new strategic “Southbound Policy” aimed at increasing cooperation and collaboration, both in academics and in trades, with neighboring countries to Taiwan’s south. As such, the Ministry of Education (MoE) of Taiwan has seen a significant increase in its budget that will fund more Taiwanese students who wish to do internship in overseas countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, etc.
