Why this school?

UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN

The main campus of the University of Saskatchewan (USask) lies in the lively city of Saskatoon, which is on Treaty 6 territory and the traditional homeland of the Métis. USask is one of Canada's top research-intensive medical doctoral universities, with world-class research in areas such as water and food security, as well as infectious illnesses. Our world-class facilities, such as the Canadian Light Source synchrotron, VIDO-InterVac, the Global Institute for Food Security, the Global Institute for Water Security, and the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation, contribute to research and discovery.

We collaborate across disciplines and with our communities to create innovative solutions to the world's most pressing concerns, guided by our University Plan: The University the World Needs. Our graduates, who are known for their strong work ethic, resourcefulness, and determination, are driving change both locally and abroad. The Gordon Oakes Red Bear Student Centre, an intercultural gathering place that helps integrate Indigenous culture on campus, and the Health Sciences Building, which incorporates eight health science fields in a practical, hands-on learning environment, are examples of spaces on our main campus in Saskatoon that support the interdisciplinary focus of our study and work.
