The Advancement Team works with alumni, friends and donors to support the faculty, students and researchers. Their work would not be possible without your support.
There are many ways that you can support, including contributions to scholarships, bursaries, awards and more. Giving is easy; donate directly through our online site, or learn more about the many opportunities below.
Your generosity can transform a life.
For social science students who are currently exploring career options, I would highly recommend pursuing experiential opportunities to enhance their profile through real-work experiences.
As many industries are changing how they conduct business, the numerous skills/knowledge learned is unparalleled: research methods, statistical knowledge, and soft skills.
The specialist option has been the most beneficial aspect of my program ... the additional training in econometric theory has helped me progress along the career path I want to pursue. It has also given me an advantage in the job market.
