Hi,

The University of Victoria in British Columbia.

1. Well known for co-op based education.
2. Victoria, a capital of British Columbia.
3. Victoria, ranked as the second best place to live in Canada.
 
Co-op or internship is not allowed in any engineering MSc. Co-op/intern is only for undergrads (i.e. strictly to engineering departments/not sure about other departments).

Btw enfield, Victoria is not ranked as the 2nd best place to live in canada :P

The list is:
1. Vanc
2. Toronto
3. Calgary ( :D )
 
According to moneysense.ca,

Top ten cities of Canada are

1. Ottawa-Gatineau
2. Victoria
3. Burlington
4. Kingston
5. St. Albert
6. Fredericton
7. Brandon
8. Edmonton
9. Repentigny
10. Winnipeg

Calgary is 16th, Vancouver is 29th :P & Toronto is 88th :o

I have no clue what that list suppose to mean!!!! :| Vanc in 29th?! It have been world's most livable place for the last 2/3 years since it got overtaken by Melbourne and Vienna this year.

Hi,

I agree,

Vancouver is the best, all you need is one colourfull umbrella to enjoy the city... as you said in your inbox(1) :(

but I would love to live/work somewhere very close to Banff and Jasper National Park in Alberta. :)



@ Rupak - Yes, I checked the same website, but I think the list is more about "best residential places" (with more focus on smaller cities/town), not best city. Not sure, but I think so.
 
@ enfield - Yes I was thinking the same ! because Vancouver & Toronto cannot be ranked at 29th & 88th.

@ Rhasan - Yes, It has been world's most livable city & it's still one of the world's most livable cities and i think as enfield said this list is more about best residential places, not best city. :)
 
HI,

Co-Op are available for Masters Student also. It is specially designed for Masters in computer science and M-engg programs.

CO-Op it Self is a degree

Can you please give me the detail of an university/department which follows that? Because I myself is an MEng student and I did my homework pretty well and in most of the noteable universities, it is written intern/co-op programs are not applicable for MSc/Meng students. BTW I am particularly talking about engineering departments. I have mentioned earlier that I am not sure about other departments.

And co-op itself is a degree? :O Never knew that :|
 
BTW MSc students are entitled to research works and hence don't have the opportunity to even work outside, let alone be co-op!

Looking forward to the get the details about "co-op itself is a degree" and universities which allow co-op in masters :)

Hi,

I can confirm co-op available for undergraduate/Masters in Business and Commerce students in University of Victoria/University of British Columbia. I have searched extensively for MBA programs in Canada but I am NOT sure for M-Engg programs. Only current students of M-Engg (like Rhasan) can talk/confirm about it, after all who want to miss co-op based Master course.

rhasan is right. While you research under a supervisor/professor; you have to provide whatever hours are required for the research. So, you don't get the chance to get out of the university for 4/8/12/16 months to do a co-op. Currently, most M.Eng programs allow you to do co-ops. But M.Eng programs have limited co-op opportunities as opposed to Bachelors.

I know from experience that co-ops are very helpful in Canada, especially for engineering; if you are looking forward to working upon graduation.

Yah i agree with rossei. Some departments allow co-op for their post-grad programs (like I said before-I don't know about other departments) but CS/Electrical dept doesn't because of the research or even in MEng they don't officially allow any sort of co-op since students can work full time during their summer semester (doesn't count anything towards the degree though).

But maybe colleges have co-op programs for post-grad. After all, they usually have their own rules instead of following defined/well known systems.
