University of Waterloo (UWaterloo) Programs: Tuition fees, Ranking, Scholarships, Application Deadlines & Entry Requirements

$19,000+ per semester and other expenses. Very minimal scholarships are available in Canada for international students. Some of them include Entrance Scholarship etc. of about 500-2000$. Better to be financially prepared. CO-OP earning and part-time jobs are essential to meet expenses especially for international students.

I applied to 5 universities in Canada, 4 in Ontario and 1 in Alberta. I pinned down to Waterloo from (Trent, Ottawa, Queens) due to its wonderful co-op system and reviews by others. There was an application fee through the OUAC for every university. The process is simple, but I still went through an agent to help me better.

Extensive and informative. Classes involving programming are very helpful when applying to jobs since they teach in-demand skills. As a first year, most courses are very general sign general physics, math and so on.

You pay by semester. Engineering is the most expensive, and coop fees add to that. There are 3 semesters per year, every 4 months. But you alternate between school and co-op every term depending on your stream. The fee for the 1st term was around $17000.

I think that the course curriculum is going well so far. However, I dropped out of the co-op program as the jobs were uninteresting and mostly irrelevant to my degree. All in all, there are lots of courses to choose from, so I like the variety that they offer.

The fees included your tuition, along with some charges where you're able to get a refund. There was the option to opt out or keep the student health and dental care plan. Other charges included fees where you are not able to receive a refund which went towards the student fee of buildings.
