What happens after you graduate?
One year after our master's and doctoral students graduate, the Faculty of Health conducts a survey. These surveys are essential tools for gathering valuable insights and data from our alumni about their career journeys. Through these surveys, we also assess their preparedness and confidence in entering their chosen fields. As the University of Waterloo, the insights gained from these surveys help us tailor our programs and resources more effectively, ensuring that our graduates are well-equipped to succeed in their professional endeavors.
The availability of opportunities for learning and exposure at Waterloo were by far the most valuable for me. Additionally, the compliment of 612 and 613 served to prepare me well with a strong foundation in data analysis and interpretation.
