The Cooperative Education Unit assists in matching students with placement opportunities, and offering reflective learning and skill development after the placements are completed.

Minor subjects enable you to design a tailored programme that helps you differentiate yourself and ensure you have a unique skill set.Our science minors will give you a taste of a complimentary discipline to broaden your knowledge and demonstrate the breadth of your scientific skills.
