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.

#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.

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.
