Seeing the world like a scientist.
Do you look for the science in every day life? If yes, you've found the right place!
Here in the Faculty of Science we encourage you to be different, to be curious, explore, and discover. We love students who are passionate about their chosen field of study! Heck, with 17 science majors to choose from, we'd like to think we know a little something about passionate scientists.
Science doesn't just happen in a lab (although that is our favourite place to experience it) - it happens all around us. From our homes, our food, our bodies, and our environment - its always there. Sometimes it's obvious - like watching a plant grow. Sometimes we don't see it, and yet we "see" it everywhere (we're looking at you energy, light, forces, and air).
Whether you love physics, biology, earth science, or chemistry (or even the business of science), we'll show you the fun you can have seeing science in its natural form - where we live it every day.

We have a great team of student ambassadors who'd love to meet you and give you first-hand knowledge of what it's like to be a student in the Faculty of Science. Not sure what program is the best fit for you? We can help you with that too. Here are some ways you can get in touch with us:
Ask a (Science) Warrior - schedule a one-on-one virtual conversation with one of our enthusiastic ambassadors. We'll do our best to match you with someone in the program of your choice.
Campus tour - Come visit us to see the amazing university experience you can have as a student at the University of Waterloo. Can't come to campus in person? No problem - we offer a virtual tour with a knowledgeable ambassador.
