Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences
The Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences offers a wide variety of internships at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
At the Undergraduate level:
Full-time undergraduate students enrolled in the BSc(AgEnvSc), BSc(FSc) and BEng(Bioresource) programs may take advantage of the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Internship Program. This program allows students to choose from many different career-related internships, which may be either paid or unpaid.
Quick Facts:
- Students who have a CGPA of 2.7 or higher and have completed at least 27 credits can apply for internships.
- Each internship requires students to work full-time for a minimum of 10 weeks.

Students majoring in Dietetics in the BSc(NutrSc) program experience forty weeks of professional internships (“stages”) in clinical and community nutrition and food service systems management. These are unpaid credit courses. Successful graduates are qualified for membership in the professional order.
As part of the Concurrent BSc(FSc)/BSc(NutrSc) program, students complete a 12-credit industrial stage in either Food or Nutrition.
At the Graduate level:
Internships are offered in these areas:
- The MSc (Applied) in Biotechnology program includes an internship offering students the opportunity to apply their skills in cellular biology, molecular biology, proteomics, bioinformatics and general biotechnology in a concrete research setting.
- The MSc in Bioresource Engineering (Non-Thesis) – Integrated Water Resources Management Option includes an internship in which students work with a consulting firm or a governmental or non-governmental organization.
-
The MSc (Applied) in Bioresource Engineering - Environmental Engineering option includes a research project that can be carried out in industry, government, NGO, or an academic setting.
