Through this program, students will be able to focus on preventing illness, not simply treating people once they get sick. At the University of Waterloo, students will learn how to promote healthy lifestyles, improve health care systems, and bring together the science and the social aspects of health.

Whether students opt for the regular or co-op stream, Health gives them the skills for improving human health, along with lots of room for electives. And with five specializations and dozens of campus-wide minors, students can tailor their studies to their specific areas of interest.

Students will graduate with the skills to tackle global health pandemics such as COVID-19, transform public health policy, and pave the way for new medical breakthroughs.
