The SMA Internship Programme is designed to allow students to gain real-life work experience and test the skills acquired while in SMA. The internship experience goes towards fulfilling part of their NUS or NTU Master's degree requirements.

As part of this programme, students intern at SMA's industry partners to work on research or industry-related projects. The work experiences afforded by the internship programme help to stretch students' potential and abilities to the fullest as they apply innovative strategies to combat real-life industry-related problems. Besides familiarising themselves with industry requirements, SMA students also get the opportunity to model themselves after the mentors they are assigned to. This exposes them to the rigours of leadership roles in their respective fields of specialisation.

In addition, the internship programme allows industrial partners to evaluate the quality and potential of SMA students as prospective employees.
