COVID-19
Before beginning any sort of process involving an internship outside the province of Quebec, please contact your program’s administrative office.
The administrative office reserves the right to reject any internship outside the province of Quebec if, due to COVID-19, it is deemed to pose a health risk to you.
The Master of Science (MSc) program offers three internships:
The grade obtained for the supervised project does not influence the GPA calculation.
You must have completed at least 12 course credits in order to register for the supervised project.
There are four ways to do this supervised project:

|---|---|
|
|
The definition of each type of supervised project and the requirements are specified in the summary Guidelines and Requirements.
You must have the subject of your supervised project approved before completing 36 course credits. Once you have obtained all the required approvals, your program administration will register you.
In co-operation with your project director, evaluate the nature of your project to determine whether the approval of the Research Ethics Board (REB) is needed:
Complete the questionnaire to see whether you need to submit your project to the CER.
The organization where you are carrying out your supervised project may require that you sign a confidentiality agreement. If so, it is recommended that you use the model proposed by the university by completing the MSc | Confidentiality agreement form on the Registrar's Office forms portal. To log in, click on "Authentication HEC" and enter your HEC Montréal number and password.
If the organization insists on using their own agreement, please contact the MSc Program Office to have it approved before signing it.
The program administration will register you once and only once, and that for the term when your project begins. You will then have until the end of the following term to complete the project and submit your report.
You would like to write your supervised project report in English? Justify your demand directly in the approval form of your supervised project. This approval is automatic for specializations in English.
To submit the final version of your supervised project report, you must sign in to the Submission Of A Master’s Level Work portal by clicking on "Authentication HEC" and using your HEC Montréal ID number and password.
Your supervisor's approval must be received by the deadline.
The submission process, the evaluation of your report and the graduation process can take up to 10 weeks. Please take this into consideration if you need to renew a study permit, submit a post-diploma permit application or confirm your attendance at convocation.
