A computer science degree unlike any other
Earn a computer science degree through a learning and placement path that’s unlike any other computer science program. Our innovative work-integrated learning model provides hands-on experience across a breadth of disciplines and teams, giving you the confidence to jump-start your future—wherever it takes you. While we foster a culture of ownership and autonomy, we won't leave you to navigate the program and placements alone. Our technical mentors and support team are responsible for guiding, evaluating, and providing actionable feedback—every step of the way. Plus, you'll be part of a small class, so you'll never feel like just a number. We’ll also pay for your degree and give you a salary, so you can focus on learning and growth, all while working on impactful projects.
Learn by doing
Dev Degree is an innovative evolution of the traditional co-op program, allowing you to master development skills faster. Hands-on experience at Shopify in parallel to attending classes gives you the opportunity to put those skills to use on real-world problems—while you learn.
Dive deep into development
Dev Degree students develop skills that employers are looking for. With placements on multiple different teams throughout the program, you’ll gain a rich development experience across a range of technology to build craft excellence and discover what you truly love working on. Grow your confidence and skills by working with people from across the business and disciplines to build realistic, impactful products.
Grow through support
We remember what it’s like to navigate the early days of post-secondary education. It can feel overwhelming! We have a dedicated team of instructors, mentors, and specialists to support you throughout the entire program, giving you the peace of mind that you are learning innovative development and communication skills from the best in the industry. You will be guided, supported, and trusted.
