Working in Singapore

Singapore is a compact island city-state and a major hub for aviation, logistics, finance, technology, hospitality and food services, creating opportunities for students and graduates in operations, analytics, engineering, customer service and business. Its culture is multicultural, with English widely used alongside Mandarin, Malay and Tamil. Life is convenient and generally safe, with efficient public transport, excellent food, shopping, parks and varied neighbourhoods. Housing can be expensive, especially near the city centre, so many newcomers share apartments or live in areas connected by MRT lines. International interns should confirm whether SATS sponsors or supports the appropriate internship or training pass; eligibility depends on nationality, institution and programme duration, and applications are normally handled with the employer and Singapore authorities. Bring relevant academic documents, budget carefully for rent and daily costs, and expect a humid climate year-round with frequent rain.
