Students can apply for the Master of Engineering Co-op prior to starting their first semester.  

After accepting an offer of admission, students will be invited to attend a Co-op Information Session via webinar. Detailed instructions will be provided to the students as to how to apply to the co-op program. All students will have the opportunity to apply for co-op, however it is a highly competitive and placement opportunity may not be available for all students. 

Placement Not Guaranteed: 

The process of securing a placement must be a partnership between students and the office of Co-operative Education and Workplace Partnerships. Although every effort is made to find enough work term positions for all students enrolled in the Co-op program, no guarantee of employment can be made. Securing a placement will depend entirely upon the student’s succcess during the application and interview process.
