加拿大劳里埃大学，位于安大略省的滑铁卢市，与世界知名的计算机名校滑铁卢大学毗邻。

   劳里埃大学最著名的专业就是商科类的专业。很多商科本科专业是与滑铁卢大学共享师资，共颁学位的。

    硕士阶段选择劳里埃大学的申请者还是很多的。尤其是带coop的金融硕士。

   今天我们就来看下劳里埃大学的金融硕士的具体情况。

    课程设置的时间是12个月的学术课程，外加两个为期4个月的coop，合计是20个月的学术课程加实习活动。

    官网给出的数据中，带薪实习的项目大多也都是安排在大多伦多地区，也就是 Great Toronto Area。

    另外，Lazaridis MFin 也是CFA Institute University Recognition 的合作项目，为毕业生参与CFA考试提供了便利。

    MFin是该校最招牌的专业，尤其是带薪实习的项目，但是该项目招收人数较少，每年招收coop项目学生15人左右，非coop学生20人左右，所以竞争还是非常激烈的。

    下面，我们依次看下专业的具体课程设置和录取要求。

     MFin-coop项目课程设置如下：

    Five terms of study (20 months) covering 10 required courses and two four-month paid work terms with firms in the financial services industry.

     实习的日期组合也不尽相同，可以根据自己的情况进行选择。
