International internship opportunities

Professional internship

In a professional internship, you acquire for-credit work experience with an organization located outside Canada. It gives you the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained through your studies while developing professional skills in an intercultural environment.

You are responsible for securing your own internship placement and obtaining the required university approvals before departure. The career development department (Service du développement professionnel, SDP) and the FSA ULaval team can support you as you look for an internship and provide guidance throughout the process. Book an appointment (French only) with the SDP team for guidance in planning your internship experience.

If you would like to complete an internship as part of the course GIE-1100 Stage à l’étranger (French only), you must contact the course coordinator to have your proposed internship approved and complete the registration approval form (French only).

Research internship

An international research internship is an excellent opportunity to expand your global research network, collaborate with leading researchers in your field, broaden your academic perspective and help shape FSA ULaval’s international research reputation.

You and your research supervisor must identify a researcher, research team or research centre abroad that is willing to host you for a specified period of time. The internship must provide an opportunity for you to contribute actively to advancing knowledge in your field. Once the researcher, research team or research centre abroad has agreed to host you, they must send you an official letter of invitation.

To be eligible for funding opportunities, the internship must be a for-credit research activity within your program of study and contribute directly to your research project.

Consult FSA ULaval’s directory of international partner universities and contact the international relations development department (Service du développement et des relations internationales) if you would like assistance connecting with one of these institutions.
