Opportunities to learn while you work—and earn—are an important part of the King’s experience.
King’s Student Ambassadors work with our Recruitment Team, leading campus tours for prospective students, families, alumni, and special guests.
Student Library Assistants create a welcoming library environment, supporting daily operations and providing research assistance to help students succeed.
Residence Life Staff (Residence Assistants and House Coordinators) live on campus and support residents by fostering a positive environment, responding to concerns, and collaborating with staff. These paid roles include room and board.
The King’s Work-Study Program offers part-time jobs during the school year and full-time summer positions for students receiving OSAP. Positions are available in departments including Information Technology Services (ITS), Recruitment, the Registrar's Office, King’s International, The Write Place, and Campus Ministry.
The International Work Experience (IWE) Program supports international students who stay in Canada during the summer. Like the Work-Study program, it provides valuable on-campus employment experience while allowing students to earn income and develop skills in a Canadian work environment.
Internships combine academic learning with practical experience. Internships are available in Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, and Management and Organizational Studies (MOS).
Students in Social Sciences or Arts and Humanities can apply for internships after second year. These four-month summer placements offer 0.5 course credit and paid work experience in a field of interest.
The MOS program features a paid Industry Internship Program (IIP), where students work for 8 to 16 months between their third and fourth years. This internship counts as a 1.0 course credit and provides valuable real-world experience.
“Everything I sought out of my undergraduate degree was achieved in the groundbreaking work we did together—something that directly and positively impacted a population.”
Undergraduate research opportunities are a hallmark of King’s. Unlike many institutions where research is reserved for graduate students, King’s provides undergraduates with early access to participate in meaningful research alongside faculty in a range of departments, as well as with the Thanatology department's Loss Lab.
As a student researcher, you can contribute to ongoing projects, sharpen critical thinking skills, and form mentoring relationships with faculty—all while deepening your academic interests and contributing to new discoveries.
