6.2.5.3 International Internship Option
In lieu of the International Study Option, a small number of internship placements outside of Canada may be available for eligible students during the Fall or Winter semesters. The purpose is to provide a structured work-integrated educational experience that supports the development of intercultural competencies and global citizenship. The educational experience will be completed between a student’s first registration at Memorial University of Newfoundland and the time of their graduation, normally prior to the final semester of the iBA program. The internship should build on a student’s prior coursework, education, employment and personal experiences to allow the student to experience workplace culture in a location outside of Canada.

Admission to the International Internship Option is limited and competitive, and is available only to full-time students in the iBA program. In consultation with an academic advisor, an admitted student is encouraged to follow Possible Course Sequencing for the iBA, International Internship Option (Final 60 Credit Hours).

Co-operative Education is responsible for administering the International Internship Option, in consultation with the Head of the student’s declared Major(s) and the Office of the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences as applicable.

A student must apply to Co-operative Education. Deadline dates are January 15 (or next business day) for Fall internships, and May 15 (or next business day) for Winter internships.

A student will normally have completed at least 60 credit hours, including a minimum of 12 credit hours with a minimum 70% average in designated IS courses and a minimum of 6 credit hours in designated LS courses, prior to commencement of the internship outside of Canada.

General management of the International Internship Option is the responsibility of Co-operative Education, which provides supports to accepted students, including job search preparation, counselling, monitoring during work assignments and evaluating internships. These supports are available exclusively in preparation for a Fall semester internship or Winter semester internship.

A student must participate in professional development and debriefing sessions offered by Co-operative Education before and after the placement.

As part of admission to the International Internship Option, a student is responsible for identifying and securing a prospective internship to be completed during the program of study. Internships must be full-time (normally paid) and must be at least 12 weeks duration within the dates for Fall or Winter semesters as shown at www.mun.ca/coop. Students are strongly advised to complete all arrangements and secure approval before travelling internationally. All internships must be approved in writing by Co-operative Education, in consultation with the Head of the relevant academic unit, before the first day of the internship.
