What is the EIP?
The McGill Engineering Internship Program (EIP) offers full-time undergraduate engineering students in non co-op degree programs the possibility of participating in industry-related internships and having their experiences formally recognized. With an increasing number of employers requiring applicants to be part of a formal university coop/internship program, the EIP enables non co-op students to be eligible and apply to those internship opportunities.
Eligibility Criteria
- Students must be registered full-time in their degree program before the proposed internship term and must be returning to full-time studies following the completion of the internship.
- Internships must meet a standard durational requirement of 4, 8, 12, or 16 months.
- Internships must be considered full-time (at least 35 hours per week).
- Internships must be a paid position with a salary based on the student’s experience and level of study; unpaid internships are not eligible.
- Internships must be related to the student’s degree program.
- International students are also eligible, but will require a co-op work permit to participate.
- Students cannot miss more than two academic terms for internships.
- Students may be eligible to pursue one academic course (maximum of 4 credits) while on an approved internship term, pending certain conditions.
