Yes, you should include your internships as part of your work experience for admissions.

Internships are often valued by universities, especially for master's programs in fields where practical experience is important. Their impact varies by program and country, but relevant internships can strengthen your application if they align with your intended field of study.

Be sure to highlight internships that are directly related to your chosen course, and emphasize any substantial responsibilities or achievements during those experiences.
