Experiential learning is an essential part of the Redeemer experience. It enables you to take theories learned in the classroom and apply them in a variety of “real world” settings. Not only will this benefit your education, it will also help you in planning and preparing for your career. That’s why Redeemer incorporates a variety of experiential learning opportunities—co-operative education, internships, practicums, and off-campus study programs—directly into our academic programs.
Receive academic credit for internships in local or global organizations. These practical, hands-on experiences are designed to help prepare you for a future career. They are required or optional courses in many majors. During internship placements, you are mentored by both your placement supervisor and a Redeemer instructor. For more about internships, view the Academic Calendar.

Marketing is central to any business and an integral part of everyone’s life. We all market our ideas, skills, and experience whatever our calling. The challenge for a marketer is to understand and satisfy the needs of your customers better than your competitors, develop and execute a clear and compelling marketing strategy, all in a God-honouring way. This is a unique challenge for marketers in a culture where the workforce can be primarily profit-oriented, using methods that peddle self-indulgence. Your studies will push you to think deeply about the ethics behind these relationships and will include assignments in market research, brand management, pricing, communications (advertising, sales promotion and public relations), e-marketing and retail channel management. Co-operative Education students in the Marketing stream will graduate with a 4-year B.B.A. or an Honours B.B.A. degree having completed sixteen months of work-integrated learning in their third and fourth years.
