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.

Testimonials
You need a master's now - undergraduate degrees are not enough. I wanted a career in health and working with older adults which is why I picked this program.
This program has helped me get the job I always wanted; without this degree I would not be doing what I am today.
I really enjoyed that the School of Public Health Sciences was filled with grad students from various backgrounds. It allowed me to learn about various perspectives on the same topic. I also felt very supported by my supervisor during my time at the School.
