Internships provide avenues for students to obtain work experience and earn academic credits in many higher and tertiary institutions, including the University of Professional Studies in Accra, Ghana. Over the years, assessors from the National Accreditation Board (NAB), renamed The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) in 2021, raised concerns regarding the mandatory internship policy and the quality of students’ internship reports during their visits to UPSA. The study, intended to establish, assess and evaluate UPSA students’ experiences and perceptions regarding the mandatory internship programme as well as to identify the associated deficiencies and improve the general quality of internship at UPSA. A sample of 413 was drawn from a population of 2799 internship students in 2017. An online questionnaire and mobile phone interviews were used to obtain information on their experiences and perceptions of the 8-weeks mandatory internship programme. Although most students overwhelmingly supported the internship programme, weekend students benefited less as opposed to the morning and evening sessions students because most of them were already working when they enrolled for the programme. Pre-internship orientation, supervision, close monitoring and evaluation, as well as active involvement of the university in finding placement for students in organizations could improve students’ internship experience.
