NAFA provides authentic learning opportunities for diploma students in the form of industrial attachments/internships, industry/community projects and teaching practice, through a strong network of esteemed creative industry partners.

Such industry-based learning allows diploma students to be exposed to and familiarised with the industry/work environment, consolidate and apply discipline-specific knowledge and skills in an authentic industry/work situation, develop professional skill sets and be introduced to the industry as potential employees.

Industry-based learning is also a feature of NAFA’s degree programmes in collaboration with UAL and RCM where students will be assigned to participate in live-client project or internship (for Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Design Practice), local or international arts residency or internship (for Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Fine Art), professional-standard public production (for Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Performance Making), and teaching practicum (for Bachelor of Education (Honours) in Instrumental & Vocal Teaching).

Industry-based learning in the degree programmes allows students to experience the working climate, pace, atmosphere, and professional disciplines of working within their subject area, apply discipline-specific knowledge in an authentic professional setting and broaden their practical experiences in the various roles, functions, and operations in the industry, as well as further develop their artistic practice.

Companies interested in hosting NAFA student interns are encouraged to register for an account on the IBL Portal.
