2017 NUS-NUSRI China Internship Programme (For NUS Undergraduates Only)


Project Introduction
As NUS seeks to be “A Leading Global University Centred in Asia, influencing the future”, it will be important to provide opportunities to expose students to international working environment around Asia. The opportunities provided in China, the biggest Asia economy, are hence, a good internship platform for NUS students seeking to understand and experience the growth stories of China. This project will provide opportunities for 3rd year NUS engineering students to be interned in China companies . Students will spend 24 weeks with the enterprise to exercise their ability to use learnt engineering knowledge by working in real life enterprise environment.

As China-Singapore cooperation is going deeper, Chinese companies’ demand for talents of Singapore is also growing rapidly. NUSRI aims to let our students understand the Chinese society and industry through this project; gain deeper knowledge with the enterprise culture in the real work environment; understand the challenges faced in start-up process so as to inspire and train them to become entrepreneurs in the future. Through this overseas internship program, on the one hand, enterprises can get access to Asian top-class university talents, and on the other hand, we can offer our students a practical platform to develop their international vision, so as to realize a win-win situation for the university and enterprises.
