MPCS CO-OP Information

Students in our three masters programs complete a mandatory co-op placement as part of their degree. Co-op is a great opportunity for students to gain hands-on work experience by applying the skills and knowledge they obtained in the classroom to real world challenges or to simply branch out and learn new things.

The co-op can take various forms, such as a placement in industry, a research position on campus, a project, or specific coursework.
