Overview
Gain real-world experience with a full-time internship in Singapore, a global business hub where innovation meets rich cultural diversity.
Program Details
Spend your summer interning in one of Asia’s most dynamic and forward-thinking cities. Singapore offers a thriving economy, world-class infrastructure, and a strategic location at the crossroads of East and West—making it an ideal setting to gain hands-on experience in fields like accounting, finance, business, marketing, and technology. Internships are conducted in English and you’ll gain valuable professional skills while experiencing life in one of the most influential cities on the planet.
From the moment you land to the day you leave, our team is here for you. You’ll be greeted at the airport and supported by our experienced on-site staff throughout your stay. Whether you need help navigating life abroad or just want local recommendations, we’re here to ensure your experience is safe, supported, and unforgettable.
We’ll help you make the most of your time abroad with immersive excursions and interactive activities throughout your program. We’ll also host an in-depth orientation when you arrive to help you navigate the city, work culture, and your new home – all included in your program. After office hours, connect with the city around you by visiting the botanical gardens, attending a festival, or doing a community volunteering day with local university students.
Eligibility Requirements: You must be a current university student or a recent university graduate in good academic standing with a minimum GPA of 2.5 or higher. All applicants must be 18 years of age or older.

Singapore captivated me completely! I wouldn't change a single aspect of my experience there. The connections I formed and the experiences I shared have left an indelible mark on me. Singapore wasn't just a destination – it became a second home that I'll always cherish.

Earn Academic Credit
You'll be enrolled in our required International Internship Course, which focuses on the NACE Career Readiness Competencies and intercultural development. This course provides you with a framework to critically reflect on and analyze the transferable skills gained throughout your international internship and supports your self-awareness and personal growth in a cross-cultural context. By the end of your internship, you will be prepared to market your experience in any professional setting.
This online course is asynchronous and begins just before your internship start date. Successful completion of the course will result in a Career Readiness Micro-Credential that can be shared across digital platforms.
If you are interested in or required to earn academic credit for your internship abroad (including for visa purposes), you may explore the following options:
Transfer credit from University of South Florida: We’ve partnered with the University of South Florida (USF) to offer a U.S. transcript for all internship programs, for an additional fee of $375. A USF transcript will be sent to your home institution 2–3 months after the program end date. Letter grade and credit will be awarded based on the successful completion of written academic assignments, completed internship hours, and a supervisor evaluation.
- 8 weeks: 4 credits (minimum of 25 hours per week)
- 8 weeks: 6 credits (minimum of 32 hours per week)
- 12 weeks: 6 credits (minimum of 25 hours per week)
Credit from your home institution: You may work with your home university to receive academic credit for your program. Each academic institution has a unique policy for granting internship credit, thus students should inquire about receiving academic credit with their home university advisors, professors, and/or academic department heads.
If you are earning credit through your home institution, you'll still be expected to participate in the International Internship Course.
Excursions and Activities
Discover more abroad through curated excursions and cultural activities designed to immerse you in the local culture. From guided city tours to hands-on activities and weekend getaways, each experience is intended to help you connect with your host community. You’ll have access to a detailed itinerary in the WorldStrides Connections app prior to your program.
Offerings vary by term; below is a sample of past activities to give you a taste of what’s in store. Optional excursions require an additional fee.
Housing
After you've applied, you'll complete a housing questionnaire that will help us match your preferences with the available options. Housing assignments are on a first-come, first-served basis, so complete this form as soon as you're able! We strive to match your housing preferences as best we can, but requests cannot be guaranteed.
The options listed below are based on double-occupancy with another international student, unless otherwise noted. Single rooms may be available upon request for an additional fee. Meals and laundry service are not included unless otherwise specified. All utilities and internet are included, though you may be charged an additional fee should your consumption exceed the allotted monthly amount. A refundable security deposit may be required for some options.
