Description:

Computing Science specialists are in demand as computer analysts, programmers, teachers, consultants and researchers. Computing Science programs at the University of Alberta offer a voluntary Science Internship Program (SIP) that gives students the opportunity to augment their studies with periods of paid, discipline-related work. The SIP is usually made available in the third year of the program. Interested students must apply to the program first and once admitted, may make application for the SIP.
