leaders of tomorrow

Christina Marchand (BSc ’14) and Hyder Hassan (BA ’12) review design sketches for a line of clothing for FullSoul, a social enterprise they launched to equip hospitals in Uganda with medical supplies to protect the health and safety of mothers.

High-performing, world-ready graduates don’t just happen. À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ starts with some of the brightest, most driven students in the world. The skills and knowledge they develop here turn exceptional students into truly remarkable alumni — the leaders of tomorrow.

By the numbers

  • 48% of new undergraduate students have an entrance average ≥ 90%
  • 13 teaching fellows providing leadership across six Faculties
  • 30,600 full- and part-time undergraduate students; 5,300 full- and part-time graduate students
  • 95% of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ co-op students employed in positions related to skills developed in their field of study, six months after graduation — Ontario average 73%
  • 18,300 students participate in the world’s largest co-op education system

"My co-op in Uganda was life-altering not because of what I saw but because of how empowered I felt at having the chance to make a difference."

CHRISTINA MARCHAND, an Applied Health Sciences alumnus who helped deliver babies as part of her work term with the nonprofit organization Save the Mothers
