First founded in 2002, the University of Guelph-Humber is a unique partnership between two high-quality institutions - the University of Guelph and the Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning.

Students are able to choose from seven different undergraduate programs, and upon completion will earn both a four-year honour’s degree from the University of Guelph, but also a diploma from Humber College, with both qualifications helping to boost students’ prospects in their forthcoming careers.

All programs have a required work placement component that allow students to practice what they have learnt in the classroom in the real work setting. The University of Guelph-Humber is located in Toronto, one of the world’s most diverse cities, providing students with many opportunities for unique and interesting placements.

With a close-knit community of approximately 5,000students, the average class size is only 49 students. This allows for students and faculty to interact, contributing to a supportive and collaborative setting. This collaboration extends to working partnerships, as students are able to take on roles as paid research assistants to help faculty complete exciting projects, and to further enhance their own employability prospects. The many opportunities afforded to Guelph-Humber students can give them incredible advantages when applying for future roles.

The First-year Experience (FYE) programs connects new students with a senior student at the university and through other new student orientation events, international students are supported in their transition. Getting involved on campus is easy with the help of Student Life staff. 

International students are eligible to receive a Renewable International Student Entrance Scholarship, worth up to CAD 20,500 over four years in additional to many in course scholarships. Upon graduation, students are ready to enter the work force, or apply to graduate and professional programs.
