Stream Outline
The Computer Science Co-op Program was established in 2001 to provide a link between industry and high achieving students at CSE. It provides money and industry training for selected undergraduate students in Computer Science.
The Computer Science Co-op Program is based on the standard Computer Science undergraduate program but with the following special features:
The Computer Science Co-op Program is based on the standard Computer Science undergraduate program but with the following special features:
- CSE academics and senior managers from industry have jointly planned the program.
- Co-op students receive structured industrial training and gain valuable work experience with up to two different employers.
- The Computer Science Co-op Program offers two industrial placements totalling approximately 18 months.
- The Co-op scholars are receiving a generous tax-free scholarship (See the Co-op Website for details). This is paid in fortnightly installments and can be used at the student's discretion.
- On graduation, sponsors are always looking to recruit Co-op Scholars.
For high achieving students the Co-op Program offers an ideal combination of challenge and opportunity.
More info about the Scholarship is available on the Co-op Website
