Scholarships & awards (merit-based funding)

All applicants are encouraged to review the awards listing to identify potential opportunities to fund their graduate education. The database lists merit-based scholarships and awards and allows for filtering by various criteria, such as domestic vs. international or degree level.

Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA)

Many professors are able to provide Research Assistantships (GRA) from their research grants to support full-time graduate students studying under their supervision. The duties constitute part of the student's graduate degree requirements. A Graduate Research Assistantship is considered a form of fellowship for a period of graduate study and is therefore not covered by a collective agreement. Stipends vary widely, and are dependent on the field of study and the type of research grant from which the assistantship is being funded.

Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA)

Graduate programs may have Teaching Assistantships available for registered full-time graduate students. Full teaching assistantships involve 12 hours work per week in preparation, lecturing, or laboratory instruction although many graduate programs offer partial TA appointments at less than 12 hours per week. Teaching assistantship rates are set by collective bargaining between the University and the Teaching Assistants' Union .

Graduate Academic Assistantships (GAA)

Academic Assistantships are employment opportunities to perform work that is relevant to the university or to an individual faculty member, but not to support the student’s graduate research and thesis. Wages are considered regular earnings and when paid monthly, include vacation pay.

Financial aid (need-based funding)

Canadian and US applicants may qualify for governmental loans to finance their studies. Please review eligibility and types of loans .

All students may be able to access private sector or bank loans.

Foreign government scholarships

Many foreign governments provide support to their citizens in pursuing education abroad. International applicants should check the various governmental resources in their home country, such as the Department of Education, for available scholarships.

Working while studying

The possibility to pursue work to supplement income may depend on the demands the program has on students. It should be carefully weighed if work leads to prolonged program durations or whether work placements can be meaningfully embedded into a program.

International students enrolled as full-time students with a valid study permit can work on campus for unlimited hours and work off-campus for no more than 20 hours a week.

A good starting point to explore student jobs is the UBC Work Learn program or a Co-Op placement .

Tax credits and RRSP withdrawals

Students with taxable income in Canada may be able to claim federal or provincial tax credits.

Canadian residents with RRSP accounts may be able to use the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) which allows students to withdraw amounts from their registered retirement savings plan (RRSPs) to finance full-time training or education for themselves or their partner.

Please review Filing taxes in Canada on the student services website for more information.

Cost Estimator

Applicants have access to the cost estimator to develop a financial plan that takes into account various income sources and expenses.

The Wicked Problem of Climate Change (Fall 2024)

Course overview.

This interdisciplinary course provides a comprehensive overview of the wicked problem of climate change. Unlike ordinary problems, which are well-defined, self-contained, and come with a limited set of potential solutions, wicked problems resist definition, are mixed up with other problems, and cannot be solved in a way that is simple or final. As the pace of climate change accelerates and environmental and social impacts are increasingly being felt at the individual, community, and global level, there is a growing need for responses and solutions that crosscut disciplinary boundaries. This course approaches the wicked problem of climate change from diverse disciplinary perspectives (i.e., applied sciences, humanities, social sciences, and health sciences) to investigate the various dimensions of this global challenge. Topics addressed may include the history of climate change and its scientific underpinnings, approaches to governance, climate change communication, and impacts on the natural environment, human health, society, culture, technology, and economies. The course prepares students to analyze the wicked problem of climate change from an interdisciplinary perspective, to evaluate and critique diverse perspectives on the issue, and to devise potential solutions for mitigating and adapting to climate change. 

Open to all undergraduate students in level 3A or higher, the Wicked Problem of Climate Change course takes an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to investigate how climate change is impacting our way of life, combining both in-class and online learning. 

Graduate students at the University of Waterloo are engaged in research that is advancing our understanding of - and developing solutions to - some of society’s most challenging problems. As part of the University’s strategic plans to develop talent for a complex world and focus on interdisciplinary scholarship, this initiative sees a team of PhD candidates come together to design, develop, and offer a course related to contemporary Wicked Problems. The course will be offered to upper-year undergraduate students from across the University to create a community of scholars, sharing different perspectives from the PhD candidate instructors and the learners in the classroom.

The innovation lies in its team of instructors – three PhD candidates, who are deep into their own explorations of climate change, will enthusiastically lead this blended learning course to examine aspects of climate change and the wicked problems it presents to humanity. The interdisciplinarity is found in the instructors (one from Engineering, Science, and Environment) and in the undergraduate students who register for the course from various disciplines.

The intention of the Wicked Problem course is as follows:

• Each PhD candidate brings disciplinary expertise to the course;
• The teaching team receives mentorship and support with regard to course conception, design and integration;
• Collectively, the course creates an interdisciplinary experience that fosters learning and integration of knowledge, methods and ways of knowing that could not be achieved within a single disciplinary approach.

Read more about the first iteration of the Wicked Problem of Climate Change  course to learn more about what this style of course is like. 

Please note that this course is offered as a blended course . The Registrar's Office defines this as such: "A blended class, designated by a campus code of BLND, is  a class normally scheduled with both an online and in-person activity  (students must be available to come to campus)." 

How to Register

Are you interested in signing up and trying a truly innovative learning experience? The course selection period for fall enrolment opens on May 23rd . Please register using the following course subject code/catalogue number:

Please note that you may register for this course regardless of which Faculty you are enrolled in . All students from all Faculties/disciplines are welcome.

Draft Course Learning Outcomes

The following are the draft intended learning outcomes for the course. Please keep in mind the course is being designed throughout the Spring 2024 term and these learning outcomes are subject to change as the course is re-designed. Final intended learning outcomes will appear on the course syllabus in September 2024. By the end of the course, students should be able to:

• Explain the core concepts of climate change and current mitigation and adaptation approaches.
• Examine the wicked problem of climate change across applied sciences, humanities, social sciences, and health sciences, including interconnections between and limitations of each discipline.
• Assess the impact of climate change on culture, societies, economies, technology, and the natural environment.
• Compare diverse perspectives to articulate and evaluate your own position on climate change.
• Collaborate with other students and combine disciplinary approaches to propose solutions to a climate change problem of your choice.
• Develop interdisciplinary skills and identify how those skills can be used in your future studies and/or career.

Meet the Instructors

These PhD candidates are spending the Spring 2024 term in the Teaching Innovation Incubator , working together with Centre for Teaching Excellence education specialists and past instructors of the Wicked Problem of Climate Change course to re-design and develop a course that will be a highlight in an undergraduate student’s degree.

Timothy Shardlow

Faculty of Science

My name is Tim and I am a 3 rd year PhD Candidate in the Müller Lab from the Department of Biology. My research involves studying cyanobacteria within drinking water reservoirs impacted by climate change which can cause challenges to drinking water treatment. One of my study sites is in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada which experienced a wildfire in 2016, which has caused deterioration in their drinking water supply due to cyanobacteria.

By being involved in the Wicked Problem of Climate Change course, I am given the opportunity to share an aspect of climate change that I don’t believe many people immediately think about, and that is drinking water safety and security. I hope to give people, regardless of educational background, a new perspective on climate change and how it impacts our freshwater sources. As part of my research, I have collaborated with students and faculty from various research backgrounds and disciplines, and I look forward to that sort of collaboration occurring in this course as well.
