Can I source for my own vacation attachments or internship programmes, even if it is with a private organisation or MNC during my studies?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. We encourage our scholarship holders to be resourceful and exercise initiative in getting vacation attachments. Apart from attachments, we encourage our scholarship holders to broaden their horizons and hone their global perspectives by embracing a diversity of learning opportunities. These are some examples of activities that PSC would encourage them to:

Do a summer school in another university
Explore the region on a student exchange programme with their university
Go for an Operations Raleigh or other community projects in the region and experience another culture
