Profile
Memorial University of Newfoundland is Atlantic Canada’s premiere comprehensive university. As the only university in Newfoundland and Labrador, it is home to almost 18,000 students.
At Memorial University, students can choose from multiple campuses, each one being different. The province’s capital city, St. John’s, is home to the St. John’s Campus, the largest and most comprehensive campus of Memorial. Also located in St. John’s is the Marine Institute, dedicated to education, training, applied research and industrial support for the ocean industries. Grenfell Campus, located in Corner Brook, offers a more intimate learning experience and special expertise in environmental and fine arts programming. There is also a campus in Harlow, England, where many of our students find themselves studying the international components of their chosen program.
While studying at the St. John’s campus, students can choose from a wide array of undergraduate and graduate degree programs and benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, including the Queen Elizabeth II Library system, one of the best university libraries in Canada. Students also have access to some of the most top-ranked, advanced laboratories and technology in the world, from science, math and computers, to languages and economics.
Located on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, the Marine Institute is recognized as one of the most respected centres of marine learning and applied research in the world. Here students can choose from more than 20 industry-driven programs including bachelor’s and master’s degrees, post-graduate certificates, advanced diplomas, diplomas and certificate programs.
The Grenfell Campus fine arts and environmental programs are a testament to the beauty that surrounds this campus. Artists find their inspiration in the landscape and culture of the area. Scientists and researchers strive to protect the natural wonder of the place. This small, spectacular campus offers a personalized undergraduate education in a realm of interdisciplinary experiences. The low student-instructor ratio ensures that individual attention is the norm and there is ample opportunity to get to know the faculty.
