why TSM South Korea

Study missions is one of the best way to expand my view of the world. I am particularly interested in a study mission to South Korea because of the rich startup landscape. The Korean government has put in place many funding schemes to give startups early access to capital and this has resulted in an ideal ecosystem for new ventures.

In addition, going on a study mission will be a good break away from academic and classroom work.

Internship Opportunities

What type of internship opportunities interest you?

I am interested to take up roles as a web designer or project manager. However, I am also open to other IT-related job positions where I can learn more about technology-based company. In addition, I believed an oversea internship particularly will be enriching and fruitful. Serving an oversea internship is by far the most effective way to know another culture first-hand. And this will help me to become a more successful entrepreneur.

Any ideal firms (based in South Korea) that you wish to join?

I am particularly interested in working in Kakao and Nexon.

Kakao developed the highly successful and popular KakaoTalk, a free mobile messenger application for smartphones with free text and free call features. It is one of the most inspiring start-up stories in the Asia Pacific region and I will definitely like to join them if opportunity arises. I am very impressed how they are able to acquire 50 million users in less than a year time, despite the frenziedly competitive environment.

Nexon is the developer and publisher of many popular video games that I played in secondary school. Nexon has become a global leader in gaming with the introduction of the worldwide hit MMORPG “MapleStory”. I am very interested to work for this Korean gaming giant as I am highly impressed by their game design and game graphics.
