Non-Thesis Master's

Non-thesis Master's students are not typically funded. This means there is no guaranteed funding from ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University through the course of your degree. There are, however, some funding opportunities for which you could be eligible:

  • External funding
  • Funding or salary from a paid internship (see Internship section below)

Internships and Professional Development

Internships provide valuable learning experiences, potential career paths, and endless networking opportunities. The high-level skills and knowledge you obtain during your graduate studies give you the flexibility to explore a variety of industries and organizations.

ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ has designed a professional development support program to help students who are in a non-thesis program with a mandatory internship or research project. This Seminar Series is designed to enable students to clarify their professional goals and select potential internship or research sites based on their career interests and program requirements. Students will develop a proposal that highlights the rationale for their choice of internship or research project and the goals they will achieve. Ask your Graduate Program Coordinator for more information.

Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies offers funded internship and professional development opportunities, such as the Graduate Internship Program for Engineering and Computer Science (GrIPECS), and the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ STEM Industry Project. Considering opportunities outside of the province of Quebec? You may also be eligible for the Graduate Mobility Award.
