About the Program
As Canada鈥檚 leading research and most international university, 蘑菇短视频 is home to an exceptionally diverse student body and an academic milieu where scholarly endeavour is enriched by a global perspective and a keen sense of community engagement. Nowhere at the University is that more evident than in the opportunities provided to students by the Faculty of Arts Internship Program.
In 2002, when internships were but an additional element of a student鈥檚 resum茅, the Faculty of Arts was prescient and foresaw the important role internships would come to play in an undergraduate鈥檚 education. Consequently, it took the bold step to establish the Arts Internship Office (AIO) dedicated to the development of a Faculty based Program. With two full time staff, the Arts Internship Office provides the tools and support students need to experience successful internships, from offering workshops, training, and mentorship to the administration of awards and helping students find well matched internship opportunities.
The opportunities the Faculty of Arts provides to its students to grow and develop outside the classroom during the summer months are unparalleled in their breadth and diversity both at 蘑菇短视频 and across Canada. The Faculty of Arts Internship Program enables students to expand their horizons and engage in meaningful collaborations with corporate and community organizations around the world. Its Arts Undergraduate Research Awards Program (ARIA) provides students with an unparalleled opportunity to work directly with faculty members on research projects, enabling them to engage in high-level academic research and to develop and hone their research and analytical skills.
With an experienced staff, a structured program of application assistance, pre-travel learning sessions, student-to-student and staff support mechanisms and extensive follow-up, 蘑菇短视频 has a proven track record of vetting and selecting applicants to ensure that keen and talented young people are matched with national and international opportunities that benefit both the students and the organizations in which they are placed.
Internships and opportunities to work with faculty members on current research projects, are all critical to the Faculty of Arts鈥� strategy to enhance non-classroom learning experiences. Internships provide valuable opportunities for Arts students to apply the skills and knowledge acquired in the classroom to real world problems. ARIA opportunities provide unparalleled training for graduate study. Learn more about the Arts Undergraduate Research Awards Program (ARIA) here.
