The University of Waterloo campus encompasses an exciting research and teaching environment. Researchers benefit from the very generous intellectual property policy of the University, which vests the rights with the inventor. With a strategic commitment focused on technology innovation and entrepreneurial learning, the university has been named "Best Overall" by reputation in Canada with the Faculty of Engineering ranked among the top 50 engineering schools worldwide. Located in a vibrant two-university community within the Region of Waterloo (population of 600,000) in southwestern Ontario, the campus is home to the world’s largest post-secondary co-operative education program. The campus is within easy driving distance to the city of Toronto, where researchers benefit from close connections with the many high-technology companies in the Waterloo and greater Toronto area. The region is also close to many recreational vicinities offered by the Great Lakes and Provincial Parks.
