Internship Program: Industrial Practicum (IP) and Internship Year in Science (IYS)
The Internship Program is open to all Science undergraduate students, as well as qualified students in other undergraduate degrees or programs, including majors in Environment, Computer Science, Geography, Mathematics, and Psychology. Participating in an internship offers you the chance to add a practical element to your studies, to solidify your career goals, to gain some valuable experience, and to earn money. Internships may have a basis in research.
To be eligible to apply:
- You must be registered as a full time student before and after the IP or the IYS is completed.
- You must have completed at least 27 credits and have at least 12 credits remaining in your degree program.
- Your CGPA must be 2.7 or higher.

The program features the Industrial Practicum (4 months) and the Internship Year in Science (8, 12, 16 months).
Internship Program Designation
The Internship Program will also give you the opportunity to enhance your degree: if you are a student in the Faculty of Science and you complete two Industrial Practica (IP) or participate in an Internship Year in Science (IYS), the name of your program will change to include the Internship Program designation (e.g., Bachelor of Science 鈥� Computer Science - Internship Program).
For more information on IP and IYS, please see www.mcgill.ca/science/programs/internships.
