Internships are a form of work-integrated learning that link classroom learning with employment experiences within a professional environment. Internship work terms are related specifically to the academic studies of each student. The work terms provide an opportunity to learn by doing. You’ll apply theory to practice, develop a meaningful view of the working world, and cultivate an awareness of yourself as a professional.
Students receive in-class and 1-on-1 career education support to help prepare for the Internship. The Internship component is delivered by Sheridan’s Co-operative Education Office, which facilitates more than 1,800 Co-op/Internship work terms per year Sheridan-wide.
Learn more about Cooperative Education and Internships at Sheridan.
You might intern as a software designer, software developer, software engineer, systems developer, mobile app designer, mobile app developer, enterprise developer, mobile device tester, or in a similar role.
Since the Mobile Computing degree is a relatively new program (just launched in September 2014), we don’t have many statistics yet. Statistics do exist for similar programs, though. (Take a look at Computer Systems Technology – Software Development and Networking Engineering, for example.)
There are three work terms included in this program, and two of them are mandatory. These are paid work terms where you work at a company for the duration of the internship. While only two of the three internships in the program are mandatory, we hope that you will take all three of the internships offered.
If you decide not to take the third internship, you’ll need to wait until the next academic semester before continuing your studies. (Since the majority of students will be carrying out internships that semester, there are no core courses available for you to take during that time.)

Here are just a few of the things that set Sheridan’s Mobile Computing degree apart:
We have many leading computing companies serving on our Program Advisory Committee. These industry partners helped design the degree and are actively involved in making sure the degree remains leading-edge. Our industry partners include Blackberry, Apple, Microsoft, Cisco, Telus, IBM, Bell Mobility, Rogers and Encore Market Engagement.
At Sheridan we generally have much smaller classes than universities. It’s not uncommon for classes to have about 20 students in the later years of the degree. This results in a more supportive and friendly environment in which you get to know your classmates and your professors.
The program requires students to have a Mac laptop with Sheridan's Mac Laptop Performance Configuration. A MacBook laptop provides the greatest degree of versatility in your studies. You’ll be able to run various operating systems (MacOSX, Windows, Linux) – and thus software – to allow you to develop apps for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, etc. seamlessly. For laptop requirements, please visit the Laptop Requirements page on IT's website.
Yes. There are several courses in this program that are dedicated to the in-depth study of software engineering, such as Software Design, Software Engineering, and Quality Assurance and Software Testing. You'll also take courses such as Programming Principles, Interactive Application Development, and Enterprise Software Systems that provide many opportunities to learn and apply software design and software engineering principles, patterns and theory.
Yes. There are several courses in this program that will teach you about developing apps for mobile devices. You’ll learn a lot about Android, iOS, and cross-platform development (using mobile web technologies).
You’ll learn many different programming languages. The choice of programming languages reflects the balance between academic and industry demands. At this time, we teach Python, C#, Java, Web Technologies (HTML5, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, JQuery Mobile, Cordova), C, C++, Objective-C, Swift, Matlab, SQL, and some Unix scripting (perl).
You’ll have the opportunity to build a variety of interesting apps and systems. For example, you may create innovative Android and iOS apps and web-based apps; build enterprise-grade web systems (using Java and .NET frameworks); develop context-aware apps that draw information from their environment; or create exciting games for mobile devices.
You'll also have the opportunity to engage in applied research at the Centre for Mobile Innovation (CMI) during your academic semesters and co-op work terms.
Yes. There are several mobile application design and development courses in the program that include aspects of game design and game development. Courses include Android, iOS (iPhone, iPad), Windows Phone, and cross-platform frameworks (e.g., HTML5, jQuery Mobile, etc.). Some of the courses include assignments and/or projects that involve the development of a mobile game that runs as a native app on the device or across a variety of mobile devices using the device’s browser. There's also the opportunity to create your own mobile game in the final year (4th year) of the program through the Capstone Project or Thesis.
Our Mobile Computing program is sufficiently broad in coverage of core computer science, mobile computing and networking that you'll not be bound to study mobile computing for your grad studies. As a graduate of this program, you’ll be eligible to apply to more than 20 graduate programs at Canadian and international universities – and this list is growing. In Ontario alone, the following universities welcome graduates of this program to apply for graduate studies: Trent, Queen’s, McMaster, Brock, Ryerson, Toronto, Western, Guelph, Lakehead, Carleton, UOIT.
You’re not required to have programming experience before entering this program. We start with the basics of programming from the first semester. However, since there’s a significant emphasis on programming in the Mobile Computing degree, it’s important that you have the interest and aptitude to pursue programming.
Yes! Your best option would likely be to take the 14-week Degree Completion semester during the summer so that you can bridge into Year 2 (Semester 3) of the degree in the following September. See the Degree Completion page for more information.
This program has start dates in September and January each year. We recommend that you apply as early as possible to ensure your spot.

Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design curriculum and its delivery are designed to address current social issues pertinent to the design industry. This enables students to broaden their understanding of their place within the world.
Fundamental to the vision of the program is the balance of creative and conceptual thinking with the technical and business aspects of the profession. Courses follow a logical sequence with the degree of difficulty building vertically from first year to fourth year.
The various streams provide a range of design problems building in size and scope, from simple to complex in various design sectors. The curriculum builds on fundamental introductions that ensures a strong foundation for students to apply additional more complex learning and skills developed later in the program.
Studio projects are designed to mimic professional practice and require applied theory, creativity and strong technical knowledge. Curriculum is also connected horizontally across each semester to help support the learning in courses happening simultaneously. This demonstrates the inter-connected knowledge and skills required to practice in the industry.
The program provides many opportunities that expose students to practicing professionals and professional practice. Industry leaders and representatives from professional associations like ARIDO and IDC are invited into the classroom as jurors and guest speakers throughout the four years. The internship also provides professional design work experience for students before they enter their final year of study.
The curriculum is student-centric and designed to equip students with the skills that are required for entry-level design positions and advanced study. Manual skills such as drafting, drawing and model making are developed alongside digital skills using current software. Students are also well-versed in the applicable building codes and regulations required to practice in Ontario. Students are exposed to valuable research skills and encouraged to continue their learning past graduation.
