There are many famous universities in the world that are difficult to choose from, but when it comes to a specific major, the schools favored by international students seem quite uniform. Recently, the University of Waterloo, which owns the largest math academy in North America and is known as "MIT Canada", sent a rare and important offer to JL student! The University of Waterloo is recognized by the international community as the "most senior university of science and engineering". It has the world's largest education and research center for mathematics and computer science, and is also the only independent mathematics academy established in Canada.

In the QS global ranking, the University of Waterloo ranks 41st in the world in mathematics, almost on par with Cornell University and Brown University, and even higher than Johns Hopkins University. The CO-OP math major that JL were admitted to this time is a CO-OP paid internship model that is agreed upon by many Fortune 500 employers and government agencies to work together and cultivate in a targeted manner, which is very convenient for accumulating experience and contacts for their career. Therefore, the employment rate of students at the University of Waterloo is as high as 95% within six months of graduation.



The University of Waterloo is the first recognized university in North America to establish a mathematics academy, known as the "MIT" in Canada. Almost every year, there are the IMO International Mathematics Olympic Medal winners coming from here. The University of Waterloo is deeply favored by international students for its high standards of education and research. The individual admission rate for strong disciplines such as computer science, engineering, and mathematics is only about 4.3%.

A major feature and strength of the University of Waterloo is its pioneering CO-OP paid internship model, which cooperates with employers and schools to cultivate students in a targeted manner. It is currently the world's largest collaborative learning and internship education platform. 
This project provides students with the opportunity to practice in World Top 500 companies, even government agencies, and accumulate valuable experience and contacts for graduation and job hunting. Moreover, the salary of the CO-OP project is not the pitiful internship salary we imagine, but the level of regular employees, which can help students successfully save their first bucket of money in life.
