Dalhousie University is internationally known as one of North America’s most welcoming universities. Founded in 1818, we're one of Canada’s oldest universities, attracting more than 18,800 students from around the world. The university blends transformative academic programs with pioneering research on Canada’s East Coast.
Academics and research
We offer vibrant academic programs thanks to continual innovation in the classroom and a focus on interactive learning. And as Atlantic Canada’s leading research university, we excel in collaboration with industry and opportunity for discovery.
Diverse and inclusive
We welcome a diverse mix of students from right here in Nova Scotia, across Canada and around the world. Our students are driven to make a difference and we're strengthened by the multiple perspectives they bring to our community.
Our campuses
We have three campuses in the heart of Halifax, close to the city’s major amenities. In 2012, we added our Agricultural Campus, located just outside the Town of Truro, in the village of Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.
Leadership and vision
As our 11th president, Dr. Richard Florizone's passion and vision will guide us into our third century, and continue our evolution into an academic and research powerhouse that engages and collaborates with local, national and global communities.
