What is an internship?

An internship is a short-term, hands-on, supervised work experience with a professional organization. It provides the student with an invaluable opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge acquired in the classroom to real world problems and enables the student to broaden his or her understanding of the field.

An internship is more than a part-time job or volunteer experience; it includes:

  • Specific learning goals and outcomes designed to increase the student鈥檚 knowledge
  • Training to hone existing skills and develop additional ones
  • Supervision from the host organization to guide and mentor the intern

Can a student obtain credits for an internship?

Students who pursue approved internships may also gain up to 3 credits towards their degree upon the completion of a major topical paper.

Arts internships require a minimum of 150 hours of work with an approved host institution or organization and are generally 8-12 weeks in duration. Upon completion of the internship, the student who wishes to gain academic credit must submit a major topical paper that discusses an aspect of their internship from an academic perspective.

Normally, the internship takes place in the summer and the internship course takes place in the following fall semester. Students who choose to do an internship during fall/winter semester, are encouraged to meet with an Arts Internship Office Advisor prior to start of internship. Please note that in a case of internships not taken place during the summer, one would expect that internship hours during the fall and winter semester would normally be 150 hours, 10-15 hours per week (maximum of 20 hours).

Please note: the academic requirements may vary between departments and programs. Please note that some departments have different or additional requirements, and these courses may not always fulfill program requirements for seminar or 400-level courses.听Some departments may only recognize the internship course in terms of credits towards electives, rather than towards program requirements. Please consult the specific guidelines listed on our website.

Students may gain 3 credits (per internship/per organization) upon the completion of an internship course. Students may not take more than 6 credits of internship courses toward the completion of their B.A or B.A & B. Sc. Degree requirements.

    Internship course credit is available for students in a number of departments in the Faculty of Arts. Please refer to the list in the left hand menu to see if your department offers the internship course and to review the requirements.

    For BA students majoring in Computer Science, Geography, Mathematics, Psychology, Environment, or Software Engineering.

    The Science Industrial Practicum is available to BA students majoring in Computer Science, Geography, Mathematics, Psychology, Environment, or Software Engineering. Please make sure to visit the Field Studies and Internship office website to find specific information and eligibility criteria for the program.

    Please note that the students in the Faculty of Arts do not have access to the Internship Year in Science nor the Science Internship Program Designation. The Industrial Practicum option (FSCI 200/300) is available during the fall, winter, and summer terms.

    Information for International Students:

    Arts international students are not eligible to complete a full-time internship in Canada during the fall or winter terms. Eligible Arts international students majoring in the above-mentioned disciplines can apply for the Industrial Practicum (FSCI 200/300) only in the Summer term. Students must maintain full-time registration status (12 or more credits) during the previous winter term and the following fall term after the completion of the summer internship. For further information on the eligibility requirements to work in Canada as an international student, please consult the International Student Services website.

    For any questions, please reach out to ifso.science [at] mcgill.ca.

    Post-Secondary Co-op/Internship Program

    What is a Post-Secondary Co-op or Internship Program? The Co-operative Education and Internship Program (Co-op/Internship) is the primary vehicle through which federal organizations can recruit post-secondary students for a work term. An internship is a supervised, on-the-job training assignment designed to give students the skills and knowledge required for entry into a trade or profession.

    Eligibility:

    • Must be a 成人VR视频 full-time undergraduate or graduate student, returning to their current registered faculty in the semester following the internship
    • Must receive academic credit for the internship
    • Must meet all eligibility of the host organization
    • Must be paid

    For more information regarding student eligibility, visit the

    Students must receive approval to participate in a PSC-approved internship. For questions regarding specific student eligibility, email the Arts Internship Office.

    Human Subject Research

    Course-based research projects that require students to conduct human subject research must receive ethics review and approval. These projects differ from research in that the intent is for the student to become more knowledgeable about the research process, rather than to contribute to generalizable knowledge. The results of the data are not intended for publication or presentation outside the classroom.

    Note: No research project, including student research, may begin before approval has been obtained from the REB. No research project will be granted retroactive approval.

    Please meet with your academic supervisor to discuss well in advance of the start date of your project. Please review the submission deadline dates.

    The review of these applications may be delegated to the Research Ethics Board (REB) departmental representative and do not normally have to go to the regular REB. This review may not be used for projects carried out as part of a faculty member鈥檚 own research. Course projects that involve more than minimal risk, or involve minors or other vulnerable populations, must be reviewed by the REB.听

    To view the "Policy on the Ethical Conduct of Research Involving Human Subjects" and to complete the necessary paperwork please visit the Human Subject Research website.
