Canada's largest research university, with a global reputation for academic breadth, discovery and innovation across three campuses.
The University of Toronto is a public research university in Ontario's capital and one of the most recognized universities in the country. It offers hundreds of undergraduate programs across arts, sciences, engineering, business, health and the professions, and it is a leading centre for graduate research.
The university is organized around its three campuses and a college system at St. George, where students belong to a smaller community within a very large institution. Its researchers have contributed to landmark advances in medicine, computing and the sciences.
Students can expect a demanding academic environment, large first-year classes in many programs, and a wide range of opportunities in research, co-op, internships and student clubs, with strong connections to Toronto's business, health care and technology sectors.
