INTERNSHIPS
Every year, the Department of Music offers non-credit-bearing internships for students. The nature of work is diverse, including arts administration, orchestral performance, and teaching in primary and secondary schools. These opportunities enable students to explore areas related to their career aspirations, learn first-hand how arts organizations and schools operate, get a taste of the work that professional music practitioners and teachers do on a daily basis, and enrich their CV’s.
In 2024/25, 6 host organizations are offering a total of 15 internship placements to CUHK music undergraduates. An honorarium or allowance is offered for some but not all intern placements. The Music Department Internship Scheme 2024/25 involves the following organizations:

  2. Music Children Foundation
  3. Sound of the Earth Music and Arts Foundation Limited
