Recruiting Our Students for Internship

To ensure a successful collaboration, companies and organisations can refer to our comprehensive guidelines below, which outline the roles and responsibilities involved when engaging TUM Asia students for internships—whether locally or internationally.

By following these guidelines, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how to maximise the benefits of hosting an intern, while helping our students gain valuable industry experience. Discover how partnering with us can bring fresh talent and new perspectives to your organisation.

Our bachelor’s degree programmes:
  • Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Chemical Engineering
  • Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Electronics and Data Engineering
TUM Asia’s bachelor students must undergo internship for at least 8 weeks (part of their curriculum), unless they are exempted.
Our master’s degree programmes:
  • Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering
  • Master of Science in Green Electronics
  • Master of Science in Industrial Chemistry
  • Master of Science in Integrated Circuit Design
  • Master of Science in Rail and Urban Transport
  • Master of Science in Logistics Engineering and Management
  • Master of Science in Sustainable Food
It is compulsory for our master’s students to go through at least 2 to 3 months of internship (subject to programme) and 6 months of thesis/dissertation writing. This can amount up to an 8-to-9-month (or longer, if pre-arranged with the company) attachment to an organisation. As there is only one intake per year, the starting date for internship of our master’s students is usually around the same period.
