About Western

The University of Western Ontario was founded in 1878. Over the decades, Western has grown in reputation and size to become an internationally significant teaching and research institution with a population of over 35,000 students, including approximately 2,200 international students from more than 120 countries.

Today, Western provides the best student experience among Canada’s research-intensive universities. At Western, you have the luxury of choosing from over 300 academic programs and more than 2,000 courses across 12 faculties and three Affiliated University Colleges. Your learning does not stop once you step out of class, you’ll also benefit from membership in a community that fosters leadership and personal growth.

An International Leader in Teaching
and Research

As you’d expect of a university dedicated to excellence in teaching and research, you will learn from professors who are at the forefront of research in their particular fields.

Dedicated to Research

Thanks to close relationships with the public and private sectors, Western is undergoing a true renaissance in the establishment of cutting-edge research facilities. One of these is the Biotron, a research facility that allows for the reconstruction of entire ecosystems within a controlled environment. Scientists from a broad range of disciplines – including environmental science, agriculture, medicine and engineering – will be able to conduct collaborative experiments.
