Overseas Internships

In-person overseas internship

Students are encouraged to pursue an overseas internship for their credit-bearing internship programme. More details can be found at this CAO link for further reading regarding overseas internships.

Overseas internships are typically treated as a self-source internship. An overseas internship will have to abide by the same criteria as a regular local internship in terms of assessment and time of commitment from both parties (at least 10 weeks).

Some other factors to consider when applying for an overseas internship:

• relevant work visa for an internship ( you should not be working on a tourist visa unless permitted by the host country).
• NTU will not approve a self-sourced overseas internship unless a valid internship working visa can be obtained from the host country
• time taken to apply for an internship work visa/permit
• additional expenses such as air tickets, accommodation and other daily necessity cost that you may incur
• travel insurance
• a commitment period of at least 10 weeks starting around mid May – mid July
