No, but your references should be in a position to speak confidently of your academic capabilities and your ability to work independently. Academic, research and work supervisors typically provide the best references.

We receive approximately 50 applications per semester, though we have received as few as 30 and as many as 90. 6-10 interns are selected to participate in the Internship Program each semester.

Interns are responsible for completing 10 hours of work on their research projects per week plus an additional 1-2 hours of workshops, seminars, and training. This program is a not-for-credit work-experience opportunity that will require at least as great a time commitment as an academic course. It is recommended that students selected to be interns reduce their workload for the semester accordingly.

It may be possible to receive academic credit for your internship if you are a student in the Faculty of Arts (including Bachelor of Arts & Science students). The following conditions must be met:

1. Your supervisor agrees that your internship may be for credit.
2. You meet your department's specific requirements for receiving internship course credit in your academic program.
3. You complete the necessary steps to receive course credit approval for your internship.

The internship is one semester in duration and is separated into two components.听

• 听Students will work with a Faculty member on a defined project and/or task(s).
• 听All interns will attend weekly workshops focused on improving research skills, professional development, and translating research into policy.

Intern responsibilities range widely, and may include (but are not limited to): literature reviews, data collection and analysis, field and laboratory work, and meeting with members of the general public and media. Visit the Projects tab for more examples.

The projects change each semester. During recruitment periods, the list of available projects can be found in the Projects tab.
