The Ryerson Advantage
At Ryerson, we work to help you achieve your vision of success, whatever field you decide to pursue. From our innovative approach to learning to our world-ranked incubator network and wide range of co-op work opportunities with some of the world’s leading employers, everything we do has been designed to help you start building your future in Toronto.
Learn by thinking—and doing
Nearly all of our undergraduate programs are designed with experiential, or hands-on, learning at their core, so you’ll emerge ready to launch your career in Canada or abroad.
87% of our graduates are employed within six months after graduation
Work while you study
Many of our faculties offer co-op work programs, which means you could gain up to 20 months of full-time professional Canadian experience, earn credits, build a professional network, and earn an average annual salary of $36,500—all before you graduate.
About 50% of our co-op students secure a full-time job before graduating
Develop your entrepreneurial skills
Ryerson boasts Canada’s largest university incubator network, called Zone Learning. There are 10 “zones,” or incubators, on campus—each with a focus on a different industry— that provide opportunities to brainstorm ideas, gain real-world experience, build your resume, and even access funding to build your own startup.

“Through Ryerson’s networking events and on-campus career fairs, I found my first professional part-time jobs and internships in Toronto. Those were valuable stepping stones that gave me a head start in my career here in Canada after graduation.”

“The key to my success was Ryerson’s extensive network. I connected with industry leaders in the start-up ecosystem by getting involved with student groups. Those connections helped me secure a full-time job in a fast-paced start-up upon graduation.”

“The job I have today is largely thanks to the internship Ryerson allowed me to do during my last semester. The company kept me past my internship, so I was set up for career success here in Canada before I even graduated.”
