Internship
Internship is one of the mandatory courses that every Film UMN student must follow. An internship is a simulation of how a student works in a company to experience the actual and expected working environment, where they could apply the knowledge gained during lectures.
By doing Internships, students are expected to be able to:
- Apply the knowledge that has been obtained during their studies.
- Understand technical matters in the Visual Communication Design field of work, either in companies, agencies, or institutions.
- Develop insight and can develop knowledge in the Design field generally and specifically.
- Gain soft skill experiences in companies/agencies/institutions where they do practical work to mentally prepare themselves and have a high work ethic, discipline, and professionalism.

- The final and most complete research results are accounted for academically in the final thesis defense and tested by the examiners. Except for the thesis, the final project is accompanied by screening or exhibition related to the design work based on the research topic.
Thesis
Scope of Thesis
Need to use approaches (theory/scientific) and methods as instruments in analyzing research objects. According to Piliang (2011), the approach in question is a scientific discipline as the starting point in viewing the studied object (p. 82), while the method is a way to achieve the research objectives specified (p. 84).
