Nanyang University utilizes its own employer network for Northeastern student placement. Students are also urged to explore contacts with current or former employers and consider their own social and informal networks for possible placements. Although the program is open to all Northeastern University undergraduates, students of Asian ancestry in particular find it attractive to reinforce personal ties or to prepare for a career in the Asia-Pacific region. Co-op positions in primarily technical and managerial areas are most readily available to students of business administration, computer science and engineering. Appropriate opportunities may be possible for students in other fields as well.
Companies range in size from small enterprises to large corporations.
Retention opportunities for full-time employment in the U.S or abroad are also possible. Application Process Students can go abroad to Singapore on international co- op either at the beginning of the Summer Quarter, or at the beginning of the Winter Quarter. If necessary, a division change must also be made. Students must complete the International Co-op Petition Form and return it to 503 Stearns Center. Preparing credentials for program acceptance and job placement takes time therefore students should start the process at least six months prior to their intended start date.
