Student Overseas Trips

RP provides experiential learning through overseas trips where you can apply your skills in real-world settings. These trips, which take you to countries like China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, the USA, UK, Vietnam, and many more, are designed to meet specific learning objectives through industry visits and cultural activities.

Overseas Internships

Our Overseas Industry Immersion Programme (OIIP) allows you to intern with international companies, gaining a global perspective in your field. Previous RP students have interned with top organisations like BLOCK71 Suzhou & Jakarta, Four Seasons, SCTV, and Telkom Indonesia.

International Service-Learning Trips

Service-Learning at RP allows you to apply your expertise while making a positive impact abroad. Through the International Service-Learning Programme (ISLP), you’ll work on projects in countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, and Cambodia, helping local communities with initiatives such as teaching, sports coaching, and infrastructure development. For example, our Project Phnom Penh—Triple P involved 42 students refurbishing homes and supporting skill-building programmes with Hagar Cambodia.
