Internship

This self-directed course aims to support you in your career exploration. You will have access to a key faculty member for career-oriented mentorship. There are mandatory assignments and optional industry-aligned online workshops. You will be able to pursue full-time work, co-op, internships, or other professional development opportunities related to Digital Media with support from faculty and staff. Please note: this is not an actual "internship". 

Key Benefits

• Receive guidance as you transition into the workforce, preparing you for the demands of the digital media industry.
• Get feedback on improving your interview skills and resume, empowering you on your job search.

Work Eligibility 

• Effective April 1, 2026, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) updated the requirements for co-op work permits. Eligible international students at post-secondary institutions are no longer required to obtain a separate co-op work permit to complete co-op terms, internships, or practicums. Eligible students may use the on-campus work authorization on their CDM/SFU study permit to participate in an CDM-approved work placement. 
• Work Placements must still constitute no more than 50% of the total study program and be an essential component of the program. There is no limit on the number of hours students can work for their work placement. For additional details and eligibility requirements, please visit SFU ISS' News Post.
