Overseas Internship Attachment 

What kind of Overseas Internship Attachments are available with SP?

SP offers flexible internship arrangements, including full-term overseas internships or a hybrid model.

• Students in a 22-week internship can complete the entire duration overseas.
• Under the hybrid model, students may embark on short business trips ranging from a few days to a few weeks with their company supervisor while completing the rest of their internship locally.

For short business trips, both the company and student must complete a Letter of Undertaking, available in the Forms & Guidelines section.

Companies are invited to register on the Internship Placement System (IPS) Portal to submit internship postings, including overseas opportunities, when each application round opens. Details on internship periods and application timelines are available on the Internship website.
