Competitions
Students from our School of Accounting and Finance programs participate and challenge their skills each year at various competitions in and outside of the University of Waterloo. Our students participate in various challenging accounting and finance case competitions and conferences. We believe that this is a valuable learning experience for those involved. Subsidies are available to offset students' costs. The School also offers the Financial Literacy Competition for high school students interested in developing their knowledge of finance.
