Mount Saint Vincent University offers an internship program for Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science students. The internship program is an educational strategy that integrates your academic studies with one paid internship work term with an employer. You will gain work experience in the corporate, government or non-profit sectors.
In preparation for your work term, we will help you with resume development, writing cover letters and interview prep. We host a student conference in January to talk about the internship process and navigating the workplace to help you succeed while on the job. A member of the Co-op Team will complete a work site visit during your work term, to ensure you are achieving your learning goals.
Eligible students can submit an application form to the Co-operative Education Centre
(email co-op@msvu.ca or submit to the Co-op Office at McCain Centre, Room 312) by 12 pm on Friday, September 16, 2022. Students admitted into the internship program will complete the internship in summer 2023 (May to August).
Successful completion of the internship program is comprised of:
- Setting objectives and creating a personal learning plan with your employer
- Completing a work site visit with a member of the Co-op Team
- Meeting with your employer to review the end of term employer evaluation
