Value-added experiences

UVic’s contribution to cross-disciplinary research and education is growing, along with recognition for our leadership in this area. An individual interdisciplinary program option provides room to chart a course uniquely your own and campus centres of expertise offer access to interdisciplinary research experiences.

UVic is also the largest provider of graduate co-operative education (co-op) in Canada. Alternating academic terms with paid work experience in your field can help you to finance your studies while giving you a career advantage. Co-op can also be a great way to make progress on your research and connect with future employers. It’s just one of the “value-added” experiences available here.

• Visit the Co-operative Education Program and Career Services (Co-op and Career) to learn more about co-op and to plan your career pathway.
