UNIVERSITY OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

The University of Prince Edward Island offers students an educational experience that will help them reach their potential as future leaders on PEI, across Canada, and around the world. Over its 200-year history, UPEI has grown significantly in its student numbers and the variety of its programs.

Through experiential learning opportunities, students gain knowledge and practical experience that will help them in their professional careers. Students choose from undergraduate programs in the faculties of Arts, Business, Education, Nursing, Science, Sustainable Design Engineering, and Veterinary Medicine, while the Faculty of Graduate Studies offers exceptional graduate programs in all faculties. International students from 96 countries comprise 31.9 per cent of the student body.

UPEI is expanding the programs it offers and associated infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of our society—from the local to the global perspective. The University is currently developing a new Faculty of Medicine, which will offer a joint doctor of medicine degree in partnership with the Memorial University of Newfoundland. The UPEI Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation, which opened in eastern PEI in May 2022, further enhances the University’s position as a leader in the critical field of climate change and adaptation.
