Program description

Profound changes to the world of computer applications have created the need for a new kind of software development professional.

As a result of explosive growth in the use of mobile devices, a growing appetite for consumer applications across all demographics, and emerging digital technologies, there is a need for entrepreneurial savvy within Canadian companies to effectively compete globally.

This demands computer professionals with skills in graphic design, content creation, User Experience (UX), software development, marketing and business models to design and market new and competitive software applications.

The co-op stream includes four consecutive four-month work terms.
