Question

Answer 1

If you are a Singaporean, then you just ask. There are only so many banks, investment banks, financial credit houses in Singapore (all of which are registered at the Monetary Authority of Singapore with a phone number on the website). Just call the usual suspects... DBS, UOB, OUB, OCBC, Kim Eng, GK Goh, Philips, SIAS, CLSA, UBS, Merrill, Nomura, HSBC, Deutsche, DMG, Credit Suisse, Goldman, Maquarie et cetera.

If you are not a Singaporean (or have PR status), your chances of an intership are close to zero. First, Trying to get a work visa for someone to work for a short period of time is difficult and you would have to prove that you offer something that no other Singaporean can. Secondly, internships are golden and unless you have the connections... your chances are low. I only know one guy who beat the odds and he was an Indian guy studying in Singapore who got #1 grades at Uni and was smarter than anybody I know.

You never know though... sometimes good things happen when you ask nicely. Good luck.

Answer 2

Are you Singaporean or an overseas student?

If you are a Singaporean, you can go through your university and local job portals to find your student internship. You can try the Stroff Jobs web portal at http://www.stroff.com for guidance on finding an internship in Singapore, and particularly useful is the page on "Finding Your Student Internship in Singapore" at http://www.stroff.com/find-your-student-internship-in-singapore-and-overseas

If you are an overseas student, you can find an internship in Singapore too! However, you may need to apply for a pass/permit. Visit the Ministry of Manpower website for more details.

Apart from the Intern SG website, I have come across very useful information summarizing how you a foreign student can find an internship at the Stroff Jobs (http://www.stroff.com) web portal.

You should check out the "Foreign Student Internships Page in Singapore" especially at http://www.stroff.com/foreign-student-internship-in-singapore
