Western offers superior flexibility in undergraduate program choice allowing students to combine various subjects within their degree to meet their interests and harness their talents. Critical thinking, ethical principles, experiential learning, service to the larger community, leadership, and innovation are the core values driving the Western experience across all programs.
Western also offers concurrent and combined degrees which allow students to graduate with two degrees in less time than it would take to complete each degree independently. Combined degrees are offered in Western’s professional Faculties, including: Ivey Business School, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, and Western Law. By way of example, qualifying students can complete a Bachelor of Engineering Science (BESc) and Honors in Business Administration (HBA) in five years.
Some of Western’s unique undergraduate programs include:
The Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) program provides one of the widest varieties of undergraduate medical science (life science) opportunities in Canada.
The School for Advanced Studies in the Arts and Humanities offers an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural educational experience, including experiential learning, with courses taught by internationally prominent scholars in the Arts and Humanities.
Ivey Honours Business Administration (HBA) is a second-entry program that students apply to following two years of study at the undergraduate level. The integration of program structure, classroom environment, leading faculty, unique case-based learning methods, and exceptional career management services creates a dynamic learning experience that develops highly sought-after business leaders.
DAN Management and Organizational Studies (Bachelor of Management and Organizational Studies) provides a unique interdisciplinary approach to the study of management, emphasizing the social science and evidence-based foundations of management education.
Since introducing its first Master’s degree program in 1881, Western University remains dedicated to delivering exceptional graduate education. We offer 88 distinct graduate degree programs, including a wide range of professional Master’s and interdisciplinary programs, that provide opportunities to expand your knowledge potential and push the boundaries of discovery.
With annual research funding in excess of $230 million and an international reputation for success, Western ranks as one of Canada's top research-intensive universities. Western is home to a number of innovative research facilities and centres that are unique in the world and it has research collaboration agreements on every continent.
Through its dedication to excellence in graduate education, Western offers its graduate students first-class research facilities and infrastructure, competitive funding packages, and Canada's fourth-largest academic library system.
While the University has achieved acclaim for research in a full complement of disciplines, Western has identified signature areas in which global-scale clusters of research excellence have been established. These include: Neuroscience/Brain & Mind: Imaging: Materials & Biomaterials: Philosophy of Science; Wind Engineering & Natural Disaster Mitigation; Environmental Sustainability & Green Energy; Planetary Science & Exploration; and Musculoskeletal Health.
