SIT has Overseas Student Exchange Programmes (OSEP) with Hallym University, Gachon University and Dankook University, South Korea. SIT students have the opportunity to spend one semester at these overseas universities, as part of their OSEP.

Our OSEP is open to year 2 students in their 2^nd semester. Students with good GPA and the right attitude will be recommended by their course coordinators for selection interviews.

SIT also organises overseas study trips for our students. In previous years, we have taken more than 100 students to the United States, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Australia on such study trips.

The trip to Silicon Valley included visits to Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, Google, Plug and Play Tech Center, NestGSV and Oracle.

Students on the South Korea study trip visited well-known institutions like Yonsei University and Ewha University. They also learnt about technological innovations at Digital Pavilion and the Samsung Innovation Museum. 

Students on the Japan trip visited the digital IT and electronics district of Akihabara and checked out the Epson museum and Panasonic Center Tokyo. They also got to live with local residents in Nagano and experience Japanese culture first hand.

For the Australia study trip, students visited the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Port of Brisbane and Australian Broadcasting Corporation. They also toured the Engineering, Architecture & Information Technology faculties at the University of Queensland, where they got to interact with faculty members.
