SMU’s internship programme provides our undergraduates with real world insight in a diversity of industries. All our students complete 10 weeks of internship in established business organisations either locally or overseas. In fact, many of them enjoyed internships so much that more than half of our students do between two to six internships, which help them make informed career choices. Many are also talent spotted and are offered jobs before they graduate.
In grooming visionary entrepreneurs and global business leaders of tomorrow. SMU recognises the importance of preparing our students beyond their studies so that they could become responsible and active citizens, demonstrating compassion, leadership and integrity within the communities they live and work.
An important feature of the SMU curriculum is the internship and community service programme at established organisations, both local and international. The internship programme aims to provide students with a deeper cross-cultural appreciation of business practices and research.
The community service programme requires students to be actively involved, to serve and give back to society. This is to inculcate in students the value of being responsible and civic-minded citizens of society.
SMU's internship gives our students maximum benefits – exposure to real working life, personal real-world perspectives, insights into your career choices, and the chance to build valuable business networks. All our students complete a minimum of ten weeks of internship. Internships can be done in Singapore or overseas.
More than half of students have done between two and six internships, attesting to the value these experiences bring. Our interns don't just learn; they value add with innovative ideas and solutions. Many of them are talent-spotted and offered jobs by their intern companies even before they graduate.
The school is very supportive for such “out of the classroom” learning and this has definitely enriched my academic life in SMU.
