International Internship

Students in journalism studies at the University of Regina must complete a minimum 13-week internship reporting, researching and writing in a newsroom environment.

Following the completion of at least one term of study in the school, students are assigned to internship placements in one of three semesters: January–April, May–August or September–December. Students apply for internship with select newsrooms; interviews are arranged, and placement results are reviewed the head of the school in consultation with the faculty.

The School has final authority over the timing and assignment of students to the internship portion of the journalism program. University credit for the internship program is equivalent to five courses in journalism studies. The grading of pass/fail is assessed according to criteria established by the faculty who are responsible for supervising student progress during the internship term. Students accepting an internship placement enter into a contractual relationship that recognizes the mutual educational objectives of the school and its internship partners.
