Two Institutions, One Great Education

You'll attend classes at both institutions, experiencing the stimulating university environment at Brock, as well as the personal attention and hands-on approach that distinguishes Sheridan as Canada's pre-eminent polytechnic.

Students spend one-and-a-half years in the classroom, studying the fundamentals of computer programming, algorithms and data structures. Beginning in Year 2 the curriculum places increasing emphasis on communications technology and network communications, including advanced subject matter such as:

• Internet protocol engineering (IPE)
• Public carrier systems
• Enterprise networking
• Applied security
• Database modeling and implementation

Co-op work placements begin during Year 3 and are facilitated through Sheridan.  Students must meet academic performance standards to qualify. In addition to providing valuable work experience and professional contacts, the co-op placements provide income to defray the cost of education.

Computing and Network Communications courses are taught at the Trafalgar Road Campus in Oakville, Ontario, and at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario.
