About
History
Ryerson University’s history is rooted in innovative, career-driven education with the goal of addressing contemporary societal needs. Named after Ontario’s first Superintendent of Education and leading public school advocate, Egerton Ryerson, it began as a postsecondary institute designed to combine technical education with academic theory for the first time.
Education
Creative, connected and entrepreneurial—graduate education at Ryerson puts you at the core of what’s next. The graduate programs are distinctive and offer an outstanding student-centred experience.
Research
Ryerson’s collaborative and multidisciplinary research cuts across 8 key themes that represent Ryerson’s strategic strengths and reflect the diverse scholarly, research and creative (SRC) activity that is taking place across the university.
Career
How do university students plan for careers today? The first step is recognizing that employment is no longer about graduates getting one job and staying there until retirement - there’s far more opportunity today.
Instead, graduates today can expect to take on multiple roles in diverse industries - on average 15 jobs across three sectors over the course of your career. Instead of a ‘job for life’, it’s about building your ‘career for life’.

Student Reviews
It's Okay
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
The atmosphere is similar to High School, and the location made it hard to make friends due to the amount of students commuting. I believe it is a good school for arts students with more free time, but for science not so much. The location of the school made it easy to be distracted by the city and difficult to find proper housing that is affordable for students.
Prosperity depends on support, I will be one of the magicians in the field of international trade.

First of all, motivation is the most important factor. In my country, Iran, there is no motivation and support. When you have intelligence and motivation, you can not succeed without money and the support of the country and the university. Due to sanctions and political relations with ordinary people, the stock exchange does not belong.

Some professors are excellent which makes courses easier to do well in, but there are others that do not really care about the development of their students. There's a decent amount of study space but a new library would be nice... Sometimes administrative staff is not the nicest which discourages students from seeking out resources. The student community is great, most...
