The importance of co-operative education and work placements
Because the mission of the Faculty of Architecture and Planning is to educate students who want to become professional architects or planners, work placements are an integral part of our curricula. Work experience is also a requirement for membership in the governing professional bodies. Many of our students choose to study at 黄色直播 because of the importance we place on practice鈥恇ased learning.
Which programs offer co-operative education?
Students in the professional architecture program (BEDS/MArch) and the Master of Planning program complete one or more co-op work terms at locations across Canada and internationally, where they gain practical experience and learn about professional practice. Students in the Bachelor of Community Design Honours program are placed in internships.
