University of Waterloo

Get ready to tackle the climate crisis. In this program, you’ll study the science behind the challenges facing our planet’s environment. Combine biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science with human geography to address challenges such as flooding, permafrost thawing, drought and forest fires, peatland degradation, rising sea levels and coastal change, and changing economic opportunities in climate sensitive sectors.You’ll master practical tools like computer modelling and hone the skills to build a low carbon future. Enrich your classroom learning with hands on experience in labs and fieldwork (and paid work experience through co op). Study your interests. In your final year, work with a professor on a capstone project or a thesis of personal interest. Complete a research based thesis and prepare for a master's degree or kickstart your career by choosing a project that connects you with organizations outside the university.
