Make the most of your time in the Faculty of Architecture through a work placement or student exchange.
The Faculty of Architecture Cooperative Education/Integrated Work Program Option (Co-op/I) is designed to complement and enrich academic programs with work experience. The work terms provide students with practical experience, assistance in financing their education, and guidance for future career specialization.
The Co-Op/I Program is open to students in any discipline in ED 3/4, AMP 1/2, and any master’s level. ED4 students who successfully secure a summer Co-op/I work placement are required to defer their graduation to October.
The Co-op/I Program is a non-compulsory option. Credits earned through the Co-op/I Program do not exempt students from any degree requirement and are in addition to the degree requirements of each student’s program. Students will typically participate in four-month summer placements only. Eight and twelve-month work term opportunities will be assessed on a case-by-case basis for their impact on the student’s academic program.
