Science Experiential Skills Advantage (SESA)

Experiential opportunities for Science undergraduates

Imagine the positive impact we can make if every undergraduate student has the chance to advance real-world scientific research through hands-on learning at Canada’s leading research institution.

The Science Experiential Skills Advantage (SESA) program is a new initiative that enables students to participate in a wider range of work-integrated learning as they complete their degrees. This new initiative supplements the Faculty of Science's existing internship and hands-on learning programs by enabling more support for undergraduate students that want to bolster their research skills in academic settings — increasing accessibility and creating new opportunities as we train the STEM experts and scientists of tomorrow.
