Leaders in co-op education
The University of Waterloo founded co-operative education in Canada and operates the largest post-secondary school co-op program of its kind in the world. With over 7,100 participating employers world-wide, you'll have a huge network of employers to access when you're looking for co-op jobs.

At Waterloo, you have two great ways to study - regular or co-op.
In the regular program, you attend classes from September to April and have your summers off. This provides continuity in your studies, and flexibility to pursue your own interests.
In co-op, you spend your time alternating between academic terms and paid work terms. You'll also learn essential skills through our Professional Development Program (WatPD). It's a great way to network, build your resume, and earn money to cover your university expenses!
Our four undergraduate programs are available via the regular or co-op system of study. Either is a great option - select the program that interests you to compare streams and find out which is right for you!
