Undergraduate student life at the Munk School is built around cohort-based learning and strong opportunities to connect academic study with real-world global issues. Across programs, students learn in environments that emphasize discussion, collaboration, and close engagement with faculty and peers.
A defining feature of the academic experience is curricular experiential learning, where students engage directly within their courses through research projects, simulations, case competitions, policy labs, and other applied learning activities that translate classroom ideas into practical understanding.
In addition to these in-class experiences, students also participate in a wide range of co-curricular opportunities outside the classroom. These include mentorship programs, student-led initiatives, academic events, and informal gatherings that bring together peers from across programs and disciplines.
Together, these curricular and co-curricular experiences foster a tight-knit and intellectually engaged undergraduate community where students develop both strong analytical skills and a deep connection to global affairs and public policy.
