d for a career THE SKILLS EMPLOYERS ARE LOOKING FOR

Theoretical knowledge is but one part of the equation. At Saint Mary’s, your academic education is balanced with an experiential one. Our curricula are based on actually experiencing the ideas being discussed, so our classrooms are labs of engagement. Which means you’ll be able to hit the ground running after you graduate. Co-op opportunities are available in every single faculty. Research opportunities are available after your first year. With 75 partnerships in 22 countries, you’ll be able to travel and study abroad for an international perspective.

INTERNATIONALLY CONNECTED The Saint Mary’s campus may be contained within a single city block, but the impact we make and inspiration we gain are global in scope. The University has active linkages with more than 180 institutions internationally, has implemented capacity-building projects and consultancies in more than 40 countries, and offers exchange programs in 22 countries at over 75 partner institutions. The map to the right puts these connections into perspective – and the featured stories below bring the human element into focus.

Science at Saint Mary’s: cutting-edge research and student support.

Science

The hallmark of a successful scientist is often a determination to question everything. If you’re asking yourself where you can best nurture your

passion for discovery and your desire to test limits, then consider the evidence: award-winning professors and academic supports, like our

first-year tutoring centre and peer mentorship program, provide SMU Science students with the tools, encouragement, and skills to succeed. Rigorous academics are just one reason to choose Saint Mary’s Science. Many of our undergrads participate in their professor’s research projects – an experience that can be hard to come by in large institutions. With our small class and lab sizes, you gain dedicated attention from your professors, which goes a long way toward preparing you for graduate studies, professional programs, and career goals. Plus, when you choose Saint Mary’s, you benefit from a rich network of Science alumni who have achieved incredible success across the globe. Add the University’s dedicated academic support services and our state-of-the-art facilities, and you have the formula for the greatest discovery of all – a promising future in science.
