Co-operative Education Program

Overview

The Co-operative Education Program (Master’s in Mathematical Sciences) is an 18-months long and takes a work-integrated learning approach by combining course work with practical industry experience. This allows students to apply their scientific knowledge to real-world problems while gaining work experience in an industrial environment.

The program includes a work placement phase, usually six-months-long, in addition to 10 months of course work. Co-op students commence work on their research project during the work placement, after which they finalise, submit and defend before a jury. Successful completion of all coursework and work placement is a prerequisite for graduation.
