This study explored the readiness for internships among the first cohort of the Psychology program UNIMAS. Their challenges and their coping strategies are significant for the well-being of future intakes. The researcher interviewed eight psychology students virtually via the Zoom app. The findings revealed that the participants reported having challenges such as the new internship placement during the pandemic, the negative emotional consequences they experienced and adjustment of the first time experience for internships.
