Jia Hong Liew of the Department of Information Management took part, through the Overseas Internship Incentive Program, in preparations for the National Secondary School Programming Contest (NSSPC) 2026 in Johor, Malaysia, gaining experience in cross-cultural collaboration, problem-solving, and cross-language communication. Zhu Ling Tew of the Department of Business Administration, who is from Malaysia, joined the Career Center’s “2026 NTU Beyond Borders Student Career Development Program.” During a 42-day career exploration in Indonesia, she explored different industries and local communities, gradually gaining a clearer sense of her career goals.
From club exchanges and overseas service to internships and career exploration, these programs show that global mobility no longer follows a single path. Students can find overseas experiences that suit their own interests, fields of study, and needs.
