Science Co-op

Where Passion Meets Experience

Welcome to the UBC Science Co-op program, a dynamic initiative designed to enrich the educational journey of our students by connecting them with rewarding co-op opportunities. Since 1980, we have proudly provided Canadian and international employers with access to qualified and motivated UBC Science students. 

Our program facilitates successful placements, offering employers fresh talent while helping students gain invaluable industry experience and insights. Whether you're a student, employer or faculty member, we look forward to collaborating with you!
