At the University of Lethbridge, you can choose from more than 150 recognized degree programs offered in six faculties and schools. Our focus on liberal education will allow you to explore other areas of interest, which will eventually help you reach your career goals. We have about 8,000 students including 750 international students from over 60 countries worldwide. This makes the U of L large enough to ensure that your education is rich with opportunities, yet small enough to give you a personal experience. Our small classes are taught by professors who care about you as an individual. There is a welcoming, friendly atmosphere on campus, which will help you to meet other students and feel comfortable in class. An International Liaison Officer is available to help you obtain study permits, and to guide you through the application and course registration process. Help will also be provided when you arrive on campus as you orient yourself with the U of L Campus, Lethbridge, and Canadian culture. Conversation groups, activities, and sightseeing trips are available through our International Centre for Students. We have a great reputation for all of our programs (Arts and Science, Education, Fine Arts, Health Sciences, and Management). A unique opportunity exists to enhance your experience by working with a professor on a research project or getting some work experience through our cooperative education program. You might also choose to complete an international exchange, study tour, applied study, or independent study. All of these options will allow you to gain valuable experience that is transferable to the workforce. For students who require studies in English prior to beginning undergraduate studies, we offer English for Academic Purposes (EAP).
