Abstract

This study focused on the perception of private university students of SIWES programme. The authors administered questionnaires to 105 students and a response rate of 74% was achieved. Data was analysed using mean and Relative Importance Index (RII) and presented in TABLEs. The analysis showed amongst others that the SIWES programme is generally beneficial to students as it help them to acquire professional skills (RII = 0.846). They however stressed that getting a placement was their major challenge (RII = 0.700). Appropriate recommendations were made and a conclusion drawn from the study.
