About the University

Dalhousie University

On the vibrant Atlantic coast, Dalhousie University stands as a beacon of  innovation and creativity. Across its campuses, Dalhousie has a rich, community- focused environment dedicated to fostering excellence and making a positive impact on the world. It is committed to accessible education for all, aiming to empower students and drive progress for the greater good. The spirited Dalhousie Tigers and Rams have a far-reaching influence that extends from  Halifax into the broader global community. 

Each of Dalhousie’s three Halifax campuses has its own unique character. Carleton, the first true Dal campus, welcomed students from 1886 and grew steadily until it needed more room. Elegant Studley on the peninsular is now Dal’s main campus and community hub. The Sexton Campus, also in Halifax, focuses on engineering and architecture, providing cutting-edge facilities and research opportunities. An hour from Halifax, in Truro, the Agricultural Campus emphasizes sustainable practices and hands-on learning in a rural setting. And the New Brunswick Campus specializes in medical education and health sciences, fostering a collaborative environment with a strong emphasis on community health.
