The University of Regina offers a warm, inclusive, and diverse community. With over 120 student clubs and organizations, there's something for everyone — from academic societies to cultural clubs, music, dance, and even gaming groups.
You can join clubs like:
African Students Association
Indian Students' Association
UR Pride Centre (2SLGBTQ+ support)
Engineering Students’ Society
Debate, Chess, and Photography clubs
The university is home to students from over 100 countries, so you'll find a multicultural environment where different languages, food, and traditions are celebrated.
There are regular cultural nights, international food fairs, Diwali, Chinese New Year, and other global events — great for making friends and learning about new cultures.
Student Success Centre helps with tutoring, writing skills, time management, and academic advising.
Career Centre offers resume help, job search assistance, mock interviews, and on-campus job postings.
Co-op & Internships: You can gain paid Canadian work experience through the Co-op program — a major plus for your resume.
On-campus residences offer a strong sense of community, with study lounges, game rooms, and regular events.
Off-campus housing is also affordable compared to larger Canadian cities.
Meal plans and student kitchens are available for easy food access.
UR Wellness Centre provides mental health support, counselling, and medical services.
Fitness & Recreation: There's a campus gym, pool, yoga classes, and even intramural sports like soccer, basketball, and volleyball.
Regina is a small, student-friendly city — easy to get around by bus or bike.
Students get discounted public transit passes.
The campus is walkable and centrally located, right inside Wascana Park — one of North America's largest urban parks.
Students are supported even after graduation through the UR Guarantee Program, which helps with:
Career coaching
Resume development
Job placement assistance
Eligibility for a tuition refund if you don’t find employment within 6 months after graduation (conditions apply)
The University of Regina doesn’t use the term “placements” in the same way as some countries like India or the UK. Instead, it emphasizes career readiness through:
Co-op (Co-operative Education) Programs
Internships
Career Services
Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Opportunities
One of the university’s biggest strengths is its Co-op Education Program, available in most undergraduate and some graduate programs.
Offers paid work experience while studying
Open to international students
Average salary during co-op: CAD $10,000 – $13,000 per term
Fields: Engineering, Computer Science, Business, Arts, Science, and more
Employers include government agencies, tech firms, oil & gas companies, and banks
Students who do co-op often have a much easier time getting a job after graduation.
Career Centre helps with resume writing, mock interviews, networking events, and career fairs.
The university hosts Career Days, where top Canadian employers recruit students directly on campus.
Students get access to URCareers, an online portal to find part-time, full-time, summer, and internship jobs.
The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows international students to work in Canada for up to 3 years after completing their degree.
Many U of R grads stay and work in Saskatchewan, where job markets are less saturated and the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) offers permanent residency pathways.
Government of Saskatchewan
SaskPower, SaskTel, and SGI
RBC, TD Bank, and Scotiabank
IBM, CGI Group
Federated Co-operatives
Local startups and tech companies
Around 90% of co-op students receive job offers after graduation.
Most students find employment within 6 months of finishing their programs.
Undergraduate Programs:
The university is welcoming and inclusive, especially for students with good academic records.
A GPA of around 65%–70% or higher (in your high school studies) usually meets the entry requirements for many programs.
Graduate Programs (Master’s & PhD):
Slightly more competitive, especially for thesis-based or research-heavy programs.
You typically need a 70%+ GPA in your bachelor’s degree (Canadian equivalent).
Programs may require supervisor approval, recommendation letters, and a strong statement of intent.
International Students:
U of R is known for being international-student-friendly, with a high visa approval rate and a reputation for student support.
English proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL, or Duolingo) is essential but achievable for most applicants.
