Queen's Undergraduate Internship Program (QUIP)
Students in a Bachelor of Computing (Honours) plan can register in a Professional Internship version of their plan and take a paid internship placement.
Enrollment
Register for QUIP with Career Services. Students who start their internship search a semester or two in advance are typically more successful.
Historically, students seeking internships that require technical skills tend to be more successful when they have completed key third-year courses, as these courses provide essential knowledge for performing technical tasks.
Administration
Career Services facilitates internship delivery, which includes student advising and support, student internship search skill development, and employer development.
Benefits
- Potential employers value the real-world experience that it provides.
- Transcripts and diplomas of students who complete the program include the additional information that the degree was completed with Professional Internship. For example, the degree category might read: Bachelor of Computing (Honours, Artificial Intelligence with Professional Internship).
- Students enrolled in the internship courses continue to be registered at Queen's.
