Students perform research under the supervision of a faculty member. It is a great opportunity to get involved in cutting edge research and get started early onto a research career. It is fair to say that a research assignment is among the most interesting and challenging coop experiences possible for an undergraduate student. A successful research assignment is a valuable asset in a student's background, and, together with a strong academic record, maximizes the probability of acceptance into graduate school with full scholarship funding.
Students can take up to one course during the term of the award, if approved by their supervisor.
Completion of the first year is a requirement. Students in their 4th year have lower priority. Part B is to be filled out by the prospective supervisor. Make sure you list it as your preference. The Coop Office deadlines apply for work term applications and assignments.
