Profil

Opened in 1908 as a board-governed institution, the University of Alberta has grown to become one of Canada’s top universities, focused on both undergraduate and graduate education and research. With external research funding in 2010-2011 reaching $536 million, nearly 38,500 students in more than 200 undergraduate programs and 170 graduate programs and a growing body of international students from more than 142 countries, the University of Alberta is one of the country’s foremost research-intensive
universities.

The university has five campuses located in the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Edmonton: North Campus, South Campus and Michener Park, Enterprise Square in downtown Edmonton, the university’s French-language Campus Saint-Jean, and the Augustana Campus in Camrose, 90 km southeast of Edmonton.

More than 100 members of the Royal Society of Canada have been among a distinguished faculty at the University of Alberta that leads the country in 3M Awards for Teaching Excellence – Canada’s highest undergraduate teaching honour.

Areas of established and emerging research and creative activity excellence on a national and/or international scale include world-class nanotechnology, diabetes research, printmaking, agri-foods, virology and petroleum engineering. TEC Edmonton, a joint venture of the City of Edmonton and the University of Alberta has spurred the development of 80 active and early stage spin-off companies.
