Launch Your Career in Calgary

The University of Calgary is young, innovative and forward thinking, which has a lot to do with our surroundings. Alberta’s energy sector has turned our province into an economic powerhouse, and Calgary continues to have one of the hottest job markets in the country. The University of Calgary is located in the heart of Alberta’s thriving economy, so our students are able start down a career path before they even graduate.

At the University of Calgary, we offer cooperative education (co-op) and internship opportunities so you can jumpstart your career while you’re still in university. Not only can you earn an income while also completing the requirements for your degree, but participating in an internship/co-op also allows you to make contacts in your industry and gain experience to add to your résumé. Many companies hire their internship/co-op students once they’ve completed their degree, so you may land yourself a career before you even graduate!

Internships are available to all of our engineering students, as well as those students completing a computer science degree. Co-op opportunities are available to students enrolled in actuarial science, ecology, and any of our arts or commerce programs.
