There is incredible value in a graduate degree, especially in the current climate.
Our graduate students possess an intellectual curiosity that drives their academic explorations. They develop original approaches, ask new questions, and advance and enrich the conversations surrounding some of the most important challenges in today's world.
Graduate degrees are often the key to an accelerated pathway within a career and, sometimes, the start of a new professional direction. Employers value advanced problem solving, critical thinking, and technical skills, all of which are developed in our graduate programs.
It’s important to find the right graduate program – one that aligns with your academic interests, educational background, and ideal career path. We have over 180 graduate programs at the University of Waterloo, each with a unique offering.
This video will help you to understand the different types of graduate programs and support you in your research and selection of a graduate program.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
