The University of Lethbridge’s new CAD 280-million science facility has been named Science Commons. This state-of-the-art science facility places a particular emphasis on the space it creates for innovative, interdisciplinary scientific learning and a collaborative approach between departments to solve current issues.
Science Commons is one of the most advanced scientific learning and research facilities in Canada and hosts a number of departments including Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Neuroscience, Physics and Astronomy and Psychology. The facility has been specifically shaped as an environment where the university’s best and brightest can come together to further their academic horizons and supercharge their impact on the world. It also provides a number of spaces dedicated to outreach in the sciences with local schools and other institutions, as well as the wider community.
A donation of CAD 250,000 from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) has allowed the university to launch a new course dedicated to helping students with disabilities achieve the best employment prospects possible through breaking down barriers. The CIBC Navigator Program spans five years and aims to deliver support and encouragement to students studying through the university’s Accommodated Learning Centre, as well as volunteering and collaborative learning events. The institution also looks to bolster employer partnerships in order to ensure that the program is tuned into current trends in employment and equips its students for the future.
The safety of staff and students at the University of Lethbridge is paramount. The university has responded to the risks posed by the coronavirus pandemic and has developed a comprehensive strategy and protocols to safeguard the university community. In addition, the university has set up a dedicated Covid-19 portal that students are encouraged to consult for information, updates and news.
University of Lethbridge is known internationally for its commitment to quality learning and the student experience and is ranked as Canada’s 35th best university by reputation. The university has earned its global reputation as a research-focused and results-oriented institution through a continued dedication to small class sizes, an open and collaborative learning environment, and forward-thinking programs.
It is a great place for ambitious, independently minded students as the faculty regard students as collaborators and academics in their own right. This means that learners at the university are able to demonstrate their initiative and incorporate flexibility into their decisions around their project work and academic direction. This attitude to learning allows the passion and drive of its students to truly flourish.
The university’s size is one of its other great educational assets. While it is large enough to attract talented staff, excellent investments and impressive rankings, the cohort sizes are small enough that each individual student doesn’t get ‘lost in the crowd’. Students at the university will often find opportunities to network and interact with experts and professionals from a range of fields.
The University of Lethbridge is made up of four faculties and three schools. These are:
Across these faculties and schools, the university provides in excess of 150 undergraduate programs and over 50 graduate programs and a variety of admission routes i.e. post diploma and second degrees. It provides world-class education to over 8,000 undergraduate students and over 600 graduate students, almost three quarters of whom are from outside of Lethbridge and represent over 80 countries worldwide.
Students at the institution are able to choose from a huge range of courses and programs to suit any learning need and that fit around a wide range of lifestyles. These programs can vary in their approach, whether it’s working one-to-one with a skilled expert, undertaking professional networking and collaboration, or conventional cohort classroom learning. A number of courses also offer part-time and weekend learning options which are the perfect solution for working or mature students.
The university welcomes applications from international students. Undergraduate students are eligible to start their studies in the fall term (beginning in September) or the spring term (beginning in January). The university also welcomes applications from graduate students at these times, in addition to admissions for the summer term which commences in May.

The university’s main campus is located in Lethbridge, Alberta, and sits at the meeting point of the Rocky Mountains and the breath-taking Alberta Prairies, known by many within the university as a living, breathing laboratory. This natural learning landscape is supported by world-class education facilities and sector-leading staff.
The town of Lethbridge has a population of over 100,000 people and is the perfect balance between cultural vibrancy, with a great arts and social scene, and the peace and beauty of a quiet country city. Lethbridge is just a two-hour drive from the international airport in Calgary and is a short journey away from the United States of America, meaning that it’s the perfect place for international students who are adventurous.
The campus in Lethbridge hosts a number of nationally leading, state-of-the-art facilities including the Science Commons, one of the biggest contemporary collaborative science facilities, The Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience and the Alberta Water and Environmental Science Building.
The university also has a strong reputation for liberal arts, which is underpinned by its continual investment in excellent facilities like the Centre for Arts which houses: Studio One, a fully equipped recording studio; Digital Cinema Suites for editors and producers; a wealth of art studios; a recital hall; and even its own art gallery.
The university’s library contains everything any student will need from the day they arrive to the day they graduate, with over one million holdings in its shelves and collections. The library also has great study spaces and unbeatable views.

In addition to this, another CAD 1.5 million is allocated through general awards annually. These scholarships and awards are alongside a comprehensive suite of financial support opportunities depending on students’ requirements.
All awards, scholarships and other financial support options are easily accessible through a single online application which will help students determine which awards they may be eligible for.
