Programme was developed to permit the identification of students interested in and eligible to pursue graduate studies before they have completed all of their undergraduate classes. It allows the Department to do more advanced planning for graduate studies and offers the student an additional Co-op work period plus financial assistance during part of the undergraduate portion as well as the graduate portion. The entrance requirements for the BEng Programme in Metallurgical Engineering are the normal entrance requirements to the Faculty of Engineering at Dalhousie. Students who are unable to obtain complete transcripts from their Associated Universities may be accepted conditionally for registration in the programme. The University Co-op Office solicits appropriate jobs from industry and government.
Students compete for jobs of their preference by submitting resumes and attending interviews.
The employer's preferences and the student's preferences are matched if possible. Students should be prepared to work anywhere in Canada. The University endeavours, but makes no commitment to find a job for every student. A student is at liberty to arrange his or her own job, but in order to qualify as part of the Co-op work experience, it must be approved by the Department. Academic credit will be assigned if satisfactory evaluations of the various components of the work term are achieved.
