Overview

The University of Ottawa is the world’s largest bilingual (English-French) university, where students can choose to study in French, English or both.

Located in the nation’s capital, the university offers ready access to major Canadian institutions. Its proximity to the Parliament of Canada, federal government departments and agencies, non-government and non-profit organizations, major libraries, research institutions and health centres adds to its character as a unique place to study.

Founded in 1848, the University of Ottawa now has more than 42,000 students enrolled in nine faculties: Arts, Law, Education, Engineering, Medicine, Science, Health Sciences, Social Sciences and the Telfer School of Management.

It offers some 450 programs of study, including more than 65 that offer the option of work terms within one of Canada’s five largest university CO-OP programs, one which boasts a 95 percent placement rate and enables students to gain practical work experience, build professional networks and prepare for their future careers. The university also gives students the opportunity to build on their knowledge by earning a master’s or doctoral degree, or to follow an intensive, highly specialized graduate certificate program.

The University of Ottawa is among the top 10 research universities in Canada. Thanks to leading-edge infrastructure and world-renowned researchers, it attracts close to $300 million in research funding each year. Its focal areas of research include health, e-society, Canada and the world, and molecular and environmental sciences.

The University of Ottawa is also a standout choice for international students according to major international surveys. In fact, international students have ranked Ottawa the world’s top student city in the QS best student cities survey, because of its lively student life, diversity and friendliness. As well, the University of Ottawa ranks as one of Canada’s top 10 universities according to many key surveys, including the 2018 U.S. News & World Report Best Global Universities, the 2018 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the 2017 Academic Ranking of World Universities and the 2017 CWTS Leiden Ranking.

The International Office helps students at every step in their academic journey, from prospective student all the way through to graduation. It offers a variety of support services, ranging from immigration specialists who are certified by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, to academic, social and cultural adjustment programs. More than 5,000 international students from 150 countries are enrolled in the university’s undergraduate and graduate programs.

The International Office also manages approximately 250 mobility agreements with 50 countries and aims to increase opportunities for international student mobility. University of Ottawa students automatically receive a mobility scholarship of $2,000 when they enroll in a two-semester international exchange program.

Thanks to the efforts of its International Office, the University of Ottawa fulfills its educational mandate by enriching the cultural awareness of its students and encouraging them to become well-rounded, responsible global citizens.
