Hear from Sndos Alhamdan, a fourth year Business Management student who worked with us in June 2025:  

This internship involved piloting one of the new C4L courses, “Collaborations in Practice,” before its official launch in September 2025. Each day was split into two parts. In the mornings, I took part in the sessions as a student, engaging in activities, group work, and discussions. In the afternoons, I joined the Student Learning and Teaching Strategy team, where we reflected on the sessions, answered questions, and gave detailed feedback on what worked and what could be improved. The goal was to help shape the course to better serve future students. 

Through this internship, I gained a deeper understanding of educational design and the thoughtful process behind course development. It made me appreciate how much intentionality goes into creating learning outcomes and how educational tasks, even those that don’t immediately make sense, are often designed to build real-world skills like collaboration, communication, time management, and data literacy. One of the most valuable things I learned was the importance of collaboration. Working closely with both the teaching strategy team and my fellow interns helped me strengthen skills like active listening, teamwork, and interdisciplinary thinking. In the final two weeks, we developed a group pitch and presentation. This taught me how to research, stay organised, present confidently, and answer questions professionally. A highlight for me was learning to say, “I don’t know,” and being okay with not having all the answers, while showing a willingness to learn and seek them out. 

What stood out most about this internship was the sense of purpose. I felt like I was contributing to something bigger than myself. Internships are a great opportunity to develop employability skills in a safe space where it's okay to make mistakes and grow from them. They also help you discover how you work best, what you enjoy, and how to work effectively with others. This experience made me realize that I have a real interest and potential in the field of education design, even if I don’t pursue it long-term. I would highly recommend internships to all students as a way to gain real experience, discover new strengths, and show future employers their potential.
