答案As part of a varied and stimulating curriculum, many universities and tertiary providers often offer student internships with companies or other organizations as a component of study. This trend has both benefits and drawbacks. One of the main advantages is that an internship in an appropriate place offers students the chance to integrate their theory and knowledge in a real life, practical setting. The example of student doctors and nurses illustrates the value of practical internships: how else would students learn to practice medicine but in an authentic, supervised context? In addition, internships and practicum placements can often lead to a job opportunity for the student upon graduating, or at the very least a good set of contacts for the commencement of their professional life. In terms of assessment, it also gives the university a clear picture of how the student is progressing against industry standards, and whether the course is meeting the needs of that particular industry.. However, there are several disadvantages to these types of placements. First of all, universities can sometimes have difficulty in securing good quality, suitable placements for their students or, even worse, students are left to their own devices to arrange a placement. This is unsatisfactory and puts students at a disadvantage. As well as this, sometimes students in these types of placement get used to doing menial tasks which are well beneath their capabilities, simply because they are perceived as inexperienced and incapable. To conclude, student placements are an excellent way to provide practical experience and support our future professionals to gain the skills they need to succeed, but these placements must be monitored and facilitated carefully.
