NUS-ISS Graduate Internship Programme

 

Our student internships last between 5-months to 1 year, depending on the programmes and study format. The substantial time spent with companies ensures depth of experience and benefit for both our students and the companies they work for. This allows students to apply what they have learnt in their coursework to real-life work environments, and develop deeper industry insights as well as maturity for their future careers. Through this, companies tap on trained and motivated talents to fulfill the resource needs of the organisation.
