Overview
UPEI is located in Charlottetown, PEI, the Birthplace of Confederation, and a flourishing community with around 70,000 residents. UPEI is recognized for combining teaching excellence with research innovation. Home to approximately 5300 students, of which 30 percent are international, the UPEI campus is historic yet modern, and, most of all, student-friendly. With an ever-increasing number of students from around the world, UPEI has a comprehensive plan to welcome international students including a team of international student advisors, 1st-year foundation programs, an English Academic Preparation (EAP) program, and the International Student Connections “Buddy Program,” which matches new and returning students for activities designed to make lasting connections and friendships. With rigorous undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs in Business, Engineering, Science, Education, Vet Medicine, Nursing, Social Sciences, and the Humanities (Arts), UPEI is a destination university dedicated to the success of its students with an intimate, interactive learning environment. Students love the small class sizes, family atmosphere, access to professors, and emphasis on exceptional teaching and supportive learning experiences. UPEI students are prime participants in collaborative research to the degree that is often not possible in larger institutions. A great university should be transformative for students through the power of knowledge for the future of both themselves and their communities. This is the principle behind everything at UPEI.
