The University of Saskatchewan (USask) is one of Canada’s
oldest and most distinguished universities. Established in 1907, USask is a
member of the U15 Group of Canadian research-intensive universities, and is one
of few universities to hold multiple Canada Excellence Research Chairs.
Located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in Western Canada, USask
is known for its collaborative, interdisciplinary approaches to tackling some
of the greatest global challenges of our era — water and food security, energy
sustainability, and infectious disease.
USask received close to $309 million in annual sponsored
research income, supporting the university’s signature areas of research which
include agriculture, water security, energy and mineral resources, “one health”
(an integrated approach to animal, human and environmental health), Indigenous
peoples, and innovative applications of Canada’s only synchrotron research
facility, the USask-owned Canadian Light Source (CLS). USask’s Global Institute
for Water Security is home to the world’s largest university-led freshwater
research program, Global Water futures, a $301-million investment with more
than 475 partners around the world.
Close to 26,000 students from more than 125 countries study
at USask which offers over 130 academic programs and has 13 colleges, three
graduate schools, and six affiliated or federated colleges. Study is enhanced
by world-class research centres, including the CLS, Global Institute for Water
Security, International Vaccine Centre, Global Institute for Food Security,
Crop Development Centre, Health Sciences Complex, and Saskatchewan Centre for
Cyclotron Sciences operated by the university’s Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre
for Nuclear Innovation.
Students, faculty, researchers and staff enjoy a high level
of support typical of a smaller university, creating an environment that
inspires collaboration, innovation and discovery. There are more than 100
student clubs, seven on-campus museums and art galleries, and a
state-of-the-art Physical Activity Complex. USask also offers more than $22
million in scholarships, bursaries and prizes to students every year. Students
receive the U-Pass which offers unlimited public transit in Saskatoon
throughout the school year. New international students have access to a special
welcome and orientation service which includes free transportation from
the airport and first-night accommodation.
The historic main campus is recognized as one of the most
beautiful in Canada, with plenty of green space, stately greystone buildings
and tree-lined walkways. With a rising population of just over 325,000,
Saskatoon offers many of the amenities of a large urban centre along with the
friendliness, accessibility, and safety of a smaller city. There is plenty to
do in Saskatoon every season, with live music events, festivals and cultural
experiences offered year round.
USask’s more than 164,000 living alumni are spread across
the world. Alumni include 72 Rhodes Scholars, two Nobel Prize winners, five
Olympic gold medalists, one Prime Minister of Canada, nine premiers of Canadian
provinces, three Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada, and one Oscar winner.
Its graduates, recognized for their work ethic, resourceful nature and
determination, will continue to build on a long history of success to address
the world’s challenges now and in the future.

USask offers its close to 21,000 undergraduate students one
of the most diverse range of academic programs in Canada, including colleges
and schools of medicine, veterinary medicine, law, engineering, business, agriculture,
arts & science, education, nursing, pharmacy & nutrition, physical
therapy, dentistry, and kinesiology, with undergraduate degrees and
certificates across more than 130 fields of study.
In addition to having the opportunity to study at one of
Canada’s top research universities, students have access to innovative, cutting-edge
facilities and programs that are unique in the Canadian post-secondary
environment. USask offers a multi-faceted, unique in Canada approach to undergraduate
research experiences, including annual participation of over 3,000 students

Wellness Centre, and an on-campus language centre offering English as a Second
Language (ESL) programs and bridging programs that allow ESL students to take a
university-level class while finishing their English language program.
Students have the opportunity to live on campus in one of
our residences, located just steps away from classrooms and services. USask
residences provide an unparalleled living environment for students. Students
are part of a diverse and global community where they can develop life-long
friendships and create lasting memories.
The university offers students the open and supportive
community they need to succeed by encouraging diverse ideas, collaboration and interdisciplinary
study. Students have the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience in
their field of study, whether by taking part in an internship or co-op program,
participating in a field class, or by taking advantage of a study-abroad
program at another Canadian or international institution.
The diverse community of students, staff and faculty creates
an environment where all can feel welcome, and a culture of learning, growth
and deeper understanding that extends beyond the classroom. Nearly 3,500 university
students have self-declared as Indigenous and just over 3,100 international

With some of the best research facilities and analytical
tools in the country, USask is the choice of close to 4,300 Master’s and PhD students.
The university offers more than 80 fields of study for graduate and
post-doctoral studies, including three graduate schools of public health,
public policy and environment and sustainability.
Solutions to global challenges require the best and
brightest minds, and approaches that transcend disciplinary boundaries. For
instance, environmental problems require researchers and students from multiple
fields of knowledge to better understand and resolve them. At USask, the nexus
of expertise from the graduate School of Environment and Sustainability,
graduate School of Public Health, Global Institute of Water Security, Global
Institute for Food Security, the Toxicology Centre, Johnson-Shoyama Graduate
School of Public Policy, and many other colleges and research facilities are
brought together in an interdisciplinary approach to examining problems of
global importance related to topics such as climate change, environmental sustainability,
and food and water security.
USask has highly integrated teams of medical, animal, social
and environmental scientists working to find solutions at the interface of
animal, human and environmental health. Beyond the training of doctors, nurses
and veterinarians, the university is home to a broad range of academic
programming and world-renowned research facilities such as the Vaccine and
Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) which holds over 80 U.S. patents for
vaccines, six of them world firsts.
Our faculty and graduate students in agriculture, computer
science, engineering, genomics, and public policy are working together through
the Global Institute of Food Security and the Crop Development Centre to help
feed the world through transformative innovations in digital agriculture and
transformative plant breeding.
USask faculty and graduate students work shoulder to
shoulder to address a wide range of basic and applied research challenges
including balancing the protection of the natural environment and the ever- increasing
demands for energy and natural resources; carrying out experimental and
theoretical investigations of advanced materials; and exploring human-computer
interaction, image analysis and nuclear and particle physics. Harnessing the
power of world-class facilities in synchrotron sciences, nuclear innovation and
cyclotron sciences, scientific insights are translated into ground-breaking
practical applications through local, national and international partnerships.
We are engaged in research and graduate student education
partnerships worldwide. USask offers more than $20 million in graduate student
funding including special scholarships for international students and
indigenous students. Our students work alongside top researchers including approximately
140 research chairs (18 of them Canada Research Chairs), one Canada Excellence Research
Chair, one Canada 150 Research Chair, numerous Fellows of the Royal Society of
Canada, 3M National Teaching Fellows, Killam Prize holders, and many other
acclaimed faculty.
Our warm community welcomes people from around the world and
right here at home including growing numbers of Aboriginal and international
students. It creates open dialogue, and fresh opportunities for learning inside
and outside the classroom.
