What motivates me to join TSM Korea
- Exposure
Seoul is recognised as Asian hub for innovations and startups.I want to gain better insights on the methodologies, technologies and entrepreneurships used by the different companies in the various industries. I believe that this trip will be an eye opening one as I will learn more about technopreneurship through the company visits. These exposures cannot be found in the readings that we normally do. After this trip, I want to be able to see things with different perspectives.
- Opportunity to travel
South Korea is well-known for it's advancement in technology. I am always amazed by the innovative technological products produced by them. Through TSM, I will get to witness it myself through a new kind of learning as compared to the normal curriculum. In addition, this trip to South Korea is my last chance to go for a study mission before I graduate and step into the working world.
- Korean culture
I want to have the first hand experience of the korean culture and lifestyle.
What type of internship opportunities interest me
- Business Analyst - Learning how to come up with effective & efficient solutions to meet business requirements
- User Experience Developer - Learning how to design interfaces that are usable and easy for the end users
Idea firms (based in South Korea)
This list of companies is not exhaustive. I am open to any kind of internship opportunities as I believe that there will always be valuable knowledge and experience I can take away from the company I am attached to.
