Laurentian University is an ideal environment for advanced learning with smaller classes and the opportunity to conduct research alongside professors with international reputations. Our graduate curriculum builds on a solid tradition of innovative programs and ground-breaking research. We are proud of our valued-added, high quality graduate education that offers you every opportunity to become involved in the invigorating intellectual environment at Laurentian.

Laurentian is home to a wealth of creative minds, and students benefit from the expertise of professors with international experience. To support our faculty and students, Laurentian has more than a dozen research centres, countless laboratories and an array of cutting-edge research facilities – some are the first of their kind in Canada. The campus itself – due to its location and setting – serves as a vast outdoor laboratory for research in health, biology, geology and the environment
