Experiential learning

The optional co-op stream provides paid, full-time work terms, enabling students to apply academic knowledge in professional settings, build industry networks, and enhance employability. Candidates interested in the Co-op option must first be admitted into the Research Project (one year) program. You will have the opportunity to apply for co-op in your first term.
