Graduate students
Take part in the largest graduate co-op program in Canada by putting your skills into practice in the workplace.
- you’ll get paid and earn 3.0 units of credit for each co-op term you complete
- this credit will go towards your co-op designation and doesn’t replace your academic credit
Many grad students do co-ops that connect to their final projects, theses or dissertations. If you’re already working closely with a faculty member or industry partner on research related to your project, this might count as a work term.
Co-op scholarships
When you take part in graduate co-op, you could qualify for scholarships such as the Joyce Clearihue Graduate Co-op Scholarship and the Peninsula Co-op Award.
How to apply
Almost all master’s, doctoral and post-doctoral students can do co-op.
To apply:
- check with your graduate adviser and department to make sure it will fit with your academic schedule
- choose if full co-op or work experience is the best fit for you
- connect with the co-op program in your program area. You can chat about existing work and how this might relate to co-op, or find new opportunities
