Student Spotlight
“Toronto Metropolitan University was my first choice for chemical engineering. It was a comprehensive program, and the co-op placements helped me gain experience applicable to the marketplace. When I began my own business during undergrad, it was easy to tap into TMU’s start-up community, which provided incredibly beneficial mentorship, funding and resources.”
