BEYOND LIMITS
uwaterloo.ca/science
Science at the University of Waterloo is at the
forefront of innovation. Go beyond your existing
limits — participate in groundbreaking research and
engage in hands-on opportunities. Prove yourself while
setting new limits — all while earning your Honours
Bachelor of Science degree. This and more is possible
in the Faculty of Science.
Science gives us solutions to the limitations that we, as humans,
face every day — such as resource constraints or the pressures
our bodies cannot tolerate. Science takes us beyond our limits
into a world of infinite possibilities.
At Waterloo, your curiosity will push the boundaries of science
using unique tools, technologies, and innovations. You'll explore
the ways that science helps us in, and beyond, our world. Whether
it’s through our integrated programs or delving into pure science,
we’ll equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed
here and into your future.

SCIENCE AND BUSINESS CO-OP
#BEYONDIDEASHaving a unique program that meaningfully developed both her science and business knowledge was important to Sajni and was instrumental to her decision to attend Waterloo. But it was her science community that has pushed her beyond her own limits — forging connections and opportunities that she didn't think possible. From being part of the science orientation and ambassador teams to working at outreach events, Sajni has found a home in the Faculty of Science.

uncovering the mysteries of neuroscience,
Life Sciences majors focus on discovering
the world of living systems while gathering
hands-on experience in labs, in the field,
and on co-op terms.
Life sciences help to improve the quality and
standard of all life and life systems in fields such
as health, agriculture, the environment, and
education. At Waterloo, this entry program groups
together subjects of major interest that you can
study starting in your first year.

REMI
BIOLOGY
CO-OP
#BEYONDIDEASWhile completing his degree in Biology, Remi gained an interest in computer science that led him to pursue the Bioinformatics Option within the Faculty of Science. Students pursuing this option learn, in an interdisciplinary environment, how to apply the power of computers to solve complex biological problems. During one of his co-op terms, Remi used these skills to analyze the genomes of cancer patients — looking for abnormalities that could aid in understanding a rare form of childhood cancer.
