KARACHI: Eleven female final year students of Sindh Madrassetul Islam University (SMIU) will leave today (Friday) to attend a month-long internship programme at Sanya University, China.

The students are travelling to China under an agreement signed between SMIU and Sanya University in May 2016. The group will return on December 5.

Recently, a group of 10 male students of SMIU completed their internship programme at Hainan Tropical Ocean University, China. The students went for the internship in September.



SMIU vice-chancellor Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh said, “Without international exposure, the learning process of a student cannot be completed”.

The students chosen for the internship belong to different departments of the university.

“There is a specific criterion for the selection of students,” Shaikh told The Express Tribune, adding that the only final year students with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.5 or above were selected for the programme.
