Other opportunities
Science internships and field study programs may have a research component or focus. Please see their descriptions under Internship Programs - Industrial Practicum (IP) and Internship Year in Science (IYS) and Field study and study abroad of this publication.
Individual departments and researchers offer many other research opportunities. These may be paid or unpaid, for academic credit or not for credit. Some of these opportunities are formal programs and are described in other sections of this publication (Department Research Projects,"396" Undergraduate Research Project Courses, NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards, Related program: NSERC Industrial Undergraduate Student Research Awards, Related program: FRSQ Undergraduate Student Research Awards) or on the Office for Undergraduate Research in Science website (www.mcgill.ca/science/ours); however, many opportunities arise as a result of students talking with their professors. For advice on this, plus general help on how to get involved in research, see www.mcgill.ca/science/ours/how.
In addition to opportunities available at McGill, there are several external opportunities at other institutions. Many of these are catalogued at www.mcgill.ca/science/ours/opportunities.
