Work-integrated learning opportunities

Looking for experience outside the classroom? Every program at MSVU provides students with the opportunity to put theory to the test through experiential learning. That’s right, every program at MSVU has an internship, co-op or practicum opportunity attached.

As an Arts or Science student, you can apply for a 13+ week internship in your third year. History buff? You could find yourself working in a museum in Halifax. Or, as a Science student, you could be working in a lab or in the field doing hands-on research.

For our Professional Studies students, a co-op work term, internship or practicum is available for every program. Our co-ops span three terms over your degree, giving you a full year of work experience in three different settings prior to graduation — and a leg-up on your peers.

Finally, all Education students are required to complete a practicum. MSVU is the first university in Nova Scotia to offer Education students a non-traditional practicum, meaning your work experiences aren’t restricted to the classroom. In fact, we encourage our Education students to explore what other opportunities exist as an educator beyond the school environment.
