A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:
The University of Victoria, one of Canada's leading universities, is widely recognized for leadership in research, inspired teaching and community engagement. It provides innovative undergraduate and graduate programs and real life learning experiences in a diverse and welcoming West Coast environment. The 402 acre Gordon Head campus is located approximately seven kilometers northeast of downtown Victoria and includes a variety of open space and natural landscapes, within its suburban setting.
UVic is one of six research-intensive universities in the province of British Columbia. The university offers undergraduate degrees, plus masters and doctorates in 10 faculties and 2 divisions, which includes 46 individual academic departments.
Overall, UVic offers over 120 undergraduate and 160 graduate programs, as well as professional degrees and diplomas. These offerings also include the Division of Medical Sciences (but no hospital), which delivers the Island Medical Program in collaboration with the University of British Columbia, MD undergraduate program. In addition, UVic has one of the Canada’s largest university co-operative education programs, integrating academic studies with relevant paid work experience in more than 40 academic areas. To date, UVic has achieved well over 75,000 co-op placements, and continues to grow and improve the co-op program. UVic’s Division of Continuing Studies offers hundreds of individual courses for personal and professional development, including 31 programs leading to a diploma or certificate.
