Many of our students are able to find summer internship, either by themselves or through our referral, in various industries. Below are some sharing from the students:

Fred Chan (Intern in DBS Bank)

Job Nature

Hello, I am Fred. I have worked in the Development Bank of Singapore (DBS) since August 2013. My main duty is to analyse products and produce accurate reports.

How can I find this internship?

The department already has a long-term relationship with DBS, and cooperates with DBS to set up this internship programme every year. If DBS has an internship vacancy, they will contact the Department, and students will then be invited to take part in the programme. The main selection criteria are previous working experience and academic performance (e.g., SAS and VBA).

How does the knowledge learned in the major fit my job?

The knowledge I gained is highly related to my job. In the daily analysis, I mainly use SAS and Excel VBA programming to handle and analyse large amount of data. Those programming skills are our competitive advantage. I also learnt a lot about data mining tools and different statistical models in my major. This is very useful for analysing different structures and types of data in my job.

How can I effectively study a Business Analysis major if I did not study M1, M2, Pure Mathematics and Computer subjects in my secondary school?

I thought the same thing before I studied managerial statistics. In my secondary school I was a science student but I only studied Biology, Chemistry and Physics, which only provide simple Mathematics knowledge. The fact is, there are different statistics and programming subjects in Business Analysis, but don’t worry! We don’t need to know every Mathematics procedure and proof. These subjects mainly focus on application and concepts, so if you try your best you can study and learn very well!

Venita Ho (Intern in Standard Chartered Bank and Hang Seng Bank)

Hello, I am Venita. In the past two years, I have completed two internships, at the Standard Chartered and Hang Seng Banks.

Intern in Standard Chartered Bank

I made the decision to apply for an internship at the Standard Chartered Bank, and although at first I was only responsible for data input, I soon got the opportunity to do data analysis using Excel.

Intern in Hang Seng Bank

I was offered an internship at Hang Seng Bank through our department in January this year. After learning SAS programming in the last semester, I wanted to gain more experience by working in banking companies. I have met new friends during my internship period, and it is interesting that most of them are also MST graduates. This proves that these banking companies are likely to offer jobs to students from our programme. I am certain that our courses provide us with practical skills that will help us in our future careers.

Students are able to obtain internationally recognised professional qualifications including:

SAS Base Programmer Certification

SAS Advanced Programmer Certification

SAS Predictive Modeler Certification

The Financial Risk Manager (FRM)
