About Singapore
The city-state of Singapore, also known as The Lion City, is a major business hub of Asia and one of the world’s most prosperous countries. Though physically small, Singapore is an economic giant. It has been Southeast Asia's most modern city for over a century.
The city blends Malay, Chinese, Arab, Indian and English cultures and religions. Its unique ethnic tapestry affords visitors a wide array of sightseeing and culinary opportunities from which to choose. A full calendar of traditional festivals and holidays celebrated throughout the year adds to its cultural appeal. In addition, Singapore offers luxury hotels, delectable cuisine and great shopping!
The island nation of the Republic of Singapore lies one degree north of the Equator in Southern Asia. The country includes the island of Singapore and 58 or so smaller islands.
Located at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore's tropical climate welcomes both leisure and business travelers year round. The island republic's excellent infrastructure enables visitors to enjoy its many sites and attractions in a safe, clean and green environment.
Singapore is both an island and a country, but perhaps its best description is that of city-state. Like the great city-states of the past, it offers civilization and order in the highest degree. Its combination of Western-style development and Eastern-style calm seems to present the best of both hemispheres: It's a modern metropolis where you feel safe walking the streets, and it's an Asian business center that's a model of efficiency. Singapore is also a multicultural city, and close to one-quarter of its population are expatriates or foreign workers from all over the world. Known for its desire to become the technology hub of Asia, Singapore is the most wired country in the region.
Why Doing An Internship in Singapore
1. English Speaking Country
English is widely spoken in Singapore and a majority of Singaporeans understand English. Even though the national language of Singapore is Malay, the 4 official languages are Malay, Tamil, English & Mandarin. Students won’t have any difficulty communicating in English as it is the main language of business & administration.
23 Employment Opportunities
Most multinational corporate giants of the world have their presence in Singapore. The city ranks 11th in the employer activity index. And most employers are willing to sponsor the students once they accept the job offer after completing their studies. There won’t be any dearth of jobs in this country, which is quite a good reason for students prefer Singapore for their higher education.
3. Diversity
Singapore is a multicultural and diverse island nation. The people who study, work and live in Singapore have originated from all over the world and the country is the collection of diverse cultures, religions, and ethnicities. This incredible diversity functions in harmony, as the nation is relatively free from conflict.

Law Intern from the UK
"I want to thank Asia Internship as they were committed to taking care of my needs and request, being available 24 hours and enabling me to settle in. They fixed me a sim-card and brought me to my accommodation as soon I arrived. My dietary requirements were taken into consideration which made it easier for me become familiar with the local cuisines. They introduce me to people who I have now become well acquainted with. Ultimately, they assisted making my stay a pleasant one."
