University of Waterloo

 

School Introduction 院校介紹

Explore careers, earn money, and gain experience through North America's largest co-op (paid internship) program. Unlike in traditional internships, you can gain up to two years of paid practical work experience while earning your degree. 

 

This hands-on approach to learning is highly valued by employers, giving you a competitive edge in the job market upon graduation. The university's connections with 8,000 employers provides access to more co-op jobs than any other university in North America. 

 

“I experienced working at four companies over the past two years. It’s been so valuable and has helped me figure out what I like and don’t like,” says Dhruvi, a Science and Business student.  

 

More than 100 programs 

You can choose from areas such as health, science, engineering, math, computer science, the environment, social sciences, and humanities. Many programs allow you to include minors and certificates that add expertise to your degree and make you more marketable upon graduation.  

 

Free professional development courses means that you’ll learn additional skills that will help you land jobs and quickly launch your career. 

 

One of Canada’s top universities 

Waterloo consistently ranks among Canada’s most innovative universities (Maclean’s national university rankings 2024) and best quality (fourth overall in Canada, Times Higher Education World University Reputation Rankings 2024). 

 

At Canada’s #1 university for business founders, you’ll find that learning and entrepreneurship go hand in hand. With unlimited access to free resources, you have everything you need to take your venture to the next level: coaching, mentorship, funding, workshops, pitch competitions, tools and equipment – and, most importantly, people who believe in your potential.

With students from around the world, international students can experience a multicultural environment that promotes cross-cultural understanding and friendship.

You'll be close to your classes, labs and tutorials, the Student Life Centre, gyms, places to eat, and more.
