International Development

University of Waterloo's Faculty of Environment, in partnership with St. Paul’s, offers a first-year entry, undergraduate degree program in International Development.

Governments, civil society organizations and private enterprises are looking for development catalysts – people who have the knowledge, business skills and innovative thinking required to bring about human development that is environmentally sustainable, culturally responsible, and scientifically sound.

The Bachelor of Environmental Studies in International Development is a unique program, designed to prepare students to be that catalyst – to equip them to take what they’re passionate about and act on it in a way that is effective, responsible and sustainable.

To help International Development students prepare for their eight-month field placement, St. Paul's offers Fellowships, which include free accommodations at the College and and 50 percent of a full meal plan.
