Internship Guidelines for Students | All employers are required to issue key employment terms (KETs) in writing to employees covered by the Employment Act, including interns under a contract of service.
Please refer here for the full list of KETs that must be included, unless the item is not applicable. Below are some examples of KETs for reference:
For more details on internship guidelines, please refer to the Internship Guidelines for Students on Centre for Future-ready Graduates website. |
Non-FASS Internship Programme (FASSIP) and Non-Department Internship Programmes | To ensure the safety of our students, and to facilitate routine updates to MOE on the internship participation status, we seek your cooperation in providing details of your internships secured outside of FASS Internship Programme (FASSIP) and Department Internship Programmes to your respective Career Advisors @ FASS:
|
Others | You should consider an offer carefully and responsibly before accepting it. Once you have accepted the offer (may it be verbal or signing of contract), you are committed to honouring your contract by completing the internship.
Reneging an internship offer is not advisable unless you have valid reasons to do so (such as health issue, company being found to engage in unethical conduct or business, etc). If you have valid reason/s to renege an offer, we would strongly encourage you to consult your Career Advisors @ FASS or the FASSIP administrator before making the final decision. |
Other Information
Will the Faculty/Department find an internship for me?
The Faculty/Department does not find internships for students, but we do assist in sourcing internship opportunities through our partnerships with companies/organisations and guide them to post their internships on NUS TalentConnect.
You need to make your own applications and go through company/organisation selection processes yourself. Securing an internship on your own is intended to be part of the learning process.
Can I source for my own internship locally or overseas?
Yes. You are expected to source internships on your own. But all internships must be approved by the FASS Dean’s Office if it is to be performed under FASS IP.
Students who are keen to embark on international Internships that are conducted overseas and endorsed by NUS may apply for the relevant financial aid. Please refer to the CFG Internship Resources for more information.
