Located in Southern Alberta, The University of Lethbridge (U of L) is one of Canada’s leading undergraduate universities. With over 7,000 students from 54 countries, the U of L is known for its small class sizes where students receive individual attention from faculty members, many of them born and/or educated in other countries. The U of L offers 150 different undergraduate degree programs in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences, Education, Fine Arts, Health Sciences, and Management.
The U of L is consistently ranked as the leader in research among Canada’s undergraduate universities and is fortunate to employ some of the best researchers Canada has to offer. As a result, our undergraduate students can become involved in academic research or work-study opportunities that add value to their education.
Since English is the language of instruction at the U of L, we also offer a program called “English as a Second Language for Academic Purposes (EAP)” that prepares non-English speaking students for a degree at the University. The International Centre for Students provides assistance to international students from many countries and cultures.
Lethbridge, Alberta, with a population of 67,000, is situated 200 km south of Calgary and near the spectacular Banff National Park and 145 km northeast of Waterton National Park. Lethbridge is a friendly and multicultural city, and has many opportunities for an active lifestyle. Known as the sunshine capital of Canada, Lethbridge is safe, secure, and friendly; a very pleasant place to live and study.
