Graduate work-integrated learning (WIL) courses add value to your enhanced academic degree by bridging theory and practice.
Graduate-level WIL operates in many forms at the University of Waterloo. Our innovative approach to WIL is designed to help graduate students make the connection between their enhanced academic education and the ever-changing world of work. At the Centre for WIL, we want to provide pre-WIL experience course offerings and intentional course-level WIL to students in all faculties. This provides graduate student participants with the opportunity to work on a real-life industry or community partner problem with an interdisciplinary team of their peers.
