Students can undertake paid internships and part-time jobs (either on or off campus) to support themselves financially and gain work experience at the same time. They can also take summer or winter internships, which are popular among NTU students, as it allows students to apply their knowledge into practical responsibilities. Students can also become teaching assistants as early as during their sophomore year, depending on the teacher’s requirements.
