"I enrolled at the University of Regina with the singular focus of becoming a data science professional and at the university, I found several opportunities for learning and growth in the form of co-op internships and discovery camps. The experience was not without its challenges, but I was always able to find friends and fellow members of the academic community to lean on for support and advice while studying in the warm-hearted and beautiful city of Regina."
Merelda Fiddler-Potter, PhD in Public Policy '22
Vanier Scholar, Senior Advisor - Treaty - Métis Nation
"Working on my PhD was a dream that was finally realized at the U of R. From my supervisor to my department to the librarians and research facilities, I was so well-supported I was able to finish in just four years. They also ensured I knew about every scholarship and grant I was eligible for and emailed to check in, too. It's a great school, and because it is smaller, you won't feel like a number, you'll feel like a valued member of their research community."
