RE4202 Real Estate Internship Programme
Introduction
RE4202, a 4-MC restricted elective (also known as programme elective), is intended
to give students who have completed 6 semesters of study in the BSc (RE) course
formal exposure to the working environment. The pre-requisites of RE4202 are
RE3101 (Advanced Real Estate Valuation), RE3103 (Real Estate Development), and
RE3104 (Real Estate Investment Analysis).
The official programme is for a minimum period of 9 weeks from 16 May 2016 to 15
July 2016.
Subject to the agreement by both student and employer, the internship could be
extended beyond the 9-week minimum duration, bearing in mind the commencement
date of the new academic year.
The Application Process
The Department of Real Estate (DRE) has compiled a list of employers and
internship positions for the 2016 REIP. This is available for your viewing at
http://www.rst.nus.edu.sg/programme/reip/index.html.
You are required to email a soft copy of your completed application form to Ms Ginny
Cheang at ginny_cheang@nus.edu.sg not later than 5:00 pm, 17 February 2016. A
copy of the application form can be downloaded from the above-mentioned link. Late
applications will not be entertained.
The DRE will, on a best efforts basis, match students to employers to ensure a good
“fit.” Students selected for internships will have to comply with the rules and
regulations of the organization that employs them for the entire duration of the
programme. You are strongly urged to embrace all the good qualities expected of
any employee during your internship such as punctuality, positive attitude, respect for
colleagues, and diligence.
