    Cooperative education (or co-operative education) and internships are methods of combining classroom-based education with practical work experience. A cooperative education experience ("co-op"), provides academic credit for structured job experience. Co-ops are full-time, paid or unpaid positions. Internships may be full-time or part-time, paid or unpaid positions.
    Even if applicants do NOT meet Western University's minimum English requirement (IELTS or TOEFL), applicants can still be conditionally accepted in the program of their choice with the condition of completing Western University's English program prior to starting their chosen program.
