      • Letter of contract: Students will be required to sign a contract with the company in order to be covered under the Employment Act. You may refer to the CFG Recommended Internship Guidelines for reference.
      • Evaluation: Company Advisor (Reporting Manager/Supervisor) is required to provide guidance and evaluation of the student’s interim and final reports during the internship.

Please note that only computing internship offers that meet the following criteria will be recognised by the School.

• Approved under the SoC’s internship programmes
• Student has accepted the internship offer on NUS TalentConnect

This will help us better manage student placements as we do not allow students to withdraw and switch internships after accepting an offer from an Employer. If you would like to record student applications in your company recruitment system, we would greatly appreciate if you could ensure that an accepted offer is recorded in the TalentConnect portal.
