University of Saskatchewan Rankings 2023: World Rankings & Subject Rankings

Placement:

Over there we cannot know what package someone is getting. At the undergraduate level, we can get PPO, after the internship. Over there, we have to go to the industry and approach ourself. About the package, there is no such published data. It depends on city we are in. In Saskatchewan, if we manage to find a C$40k-50k per annum, its a decent job.

Internship:

At the undergraduate level, it worked differently. Over there we have job fairs in North America. At the graduate level, it depends on supervisor. I did not get to do an internship, because my research work occupied me all the time.

I wanted to opt for a 1-year course since I am already a master's.

Placement:

The Alumni network is very good and a job fair is a common event for the University happening every 3-4 months. Alumni I know are working in a very diverse group of profiles from R&D Engineer to Quality and assurance Lead.

Internship:

No, my course requirement is a thesis and not a co-op/internship.

Placement:

Placements are a joke. Half the students are expected to move to Regina for a year in the 4th year and pay for living without receiving money from the practicum. We also can not have another job since our practicum is a full time job itself so unless we give up sleep, there is no time to work between working full time and doing assignments on the time off.

Internship:

Yes. I have applied for several throughout my undergraduate years but I have always been turned down. Despite having expertise and availability, they were looking for students with prior experience, which is hard to get if never given the opportunity, and the competition was too high among other students.

The way residence works to get into the medical school so it'd be easier for me to get a spot if I did my undergrad in the province and this is the better out of the two major schools in the province. In addition, it just seems like it has a vast selection of postgraduate options.

I opted for this college due to location and reputation. I am from a small town 3 hours away from it, therefore I only have a short drive in order to make it back home. This college also has almost the best reputation for its agriculture program in Canada, making me choose it.

Placement:

During the internship there were placements in many areas of nutrition. Since finishing, the job opportunities have not been very good. There seem to be very few dietitian positions open, especially in my area.

Internship:

Yes the university of Saskatchewan nutrition program has an internship, however, it is an internship that the student must pay for. The internship was a very valuable experience, exposing me to many areas of nutrition.

It was close to home. My family was in Saskatoon, I had friends from high school who also went to this university. The tuition is cheaper. I am familiar with the city, didn't have to move away, and I could live at home while going to school.

Family lives there we have a house that my dad bought and that was mostly the main reason. I didn?t know what major I really wanted to do and engineering seemed the best out of the rest but after only one term it was the worst.

Placement:

Unsure. I am only in my first year so I have yet to experience the placement, but with feedback from older Students it sounds like the bird is very accommodating to a students needs and where they would have accomodations.

Internship:

Yes, I have not experienced it yet. Older students have described it as an amazing leading opportunity and it gives them great hands on learning. It also helps students learn what areas they are particularly interested in.
