School of Applied Science

We believe in preparing our students to thrive in the workplace. So our School of Applied Science (SAS) offers the Enhanced Internship Programme (EIP) for students to deepen their knowledge and apply their technical and soft skills in an industry setting. It will also help you transition smoothly into the workforce through a well-structured on-the-job training programme with industry-relevant learning.

Students in all our diploma courses are eligible for 24 weeks internship. Students in the Diploma in Biologics & Process Technology course will be offered an extended, 31-week internship with companies such as GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, Novartis BioPharmOps, Shire and Lonza Biologics.

At SAS, we want our students to develop a strong regional and global mindset through our Overseas Internship Programme (OIP), which takes them on work attachments abroad.

To date, our students have interned in Australia, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France, Korea, Japan, Thailand, the United States, Taiwan and China. 

Through the OIP, we give you an opportunity to work in universities and research institutions in other countries so that you can gain valuable international exposure. You will also get to learn and appreciate the challenges of working with various cultures. Your ability to adapt and work both locally and globally will put you a step above the rest when it comes to finding employment.
