\nEthics & Personal Safety:
\n<\/b>Students who encounter aggression, discrimination, harassment, or other unethical behavior during their internships are encouraged to contact\u00a0Career Advisory Services<\/a>\u00a0for assistance.\n

Insurance<\/b><\/p>\nInternships in Singapore<\/b>
\nStudents are covered against personal or bodily injuries caused by or arising out of accidents through a\u00a0Group Personal Accident Insurance Scheme<\/a>\u00a0arranged by NUS. However, employers may wish to cover the intern under their organisation’s insurance schemes such as medical or workmen’s compensation.\nOverseas internships<\/b>
\nFor overseas internships, students and employers are responsible to check on the visa and permit requirements for the host country and relevant immigration authorities in compliance with immigration regulations. As the NUS insurance scheme for students only applies to coverage within Singapore, please check with the employer on the provision of travel insurance. If this is not provided, students may wish to purchase travel insurance as additional cover for the internship period overseas.\n

Information on Travel Notices may be found\u00a0here<\/a>, on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.<\/p>\n
