Are you interested in doing an internship in Asia? Absolute Internships provides opportunities for students to be placed in internships in Asia. This is a non-credit program.
Absolute Internship offers engineering internships that give you the opportunity to explore key engineering sectors, such as civil engineering, electrical engineering or mechanical engineering. They also offer opportunities within sustainability and Green Technology, an up-and-coming industry specialism, particularly in Asia. In fact, there’s no better place to gain relevant engineering experience today due to the rapid growth taking place in territories such as China and Singapore. Their engineering internships in these locations remain some of our most popular internship opportunities.

Engineering internships in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore are often located outside the respective city centers due to the complexity of related work sites. Nevertheless, they also offer opportunities for more business-oriented internships within the engineering industry that are located within the city centers.
