The only university in the province, UPEI offers a wide range of programs and degrees within the faculties of Arts; Business; Education; Graduate Studies; Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research, and Applied Studies; Nursing; Science; Sustainable Design Engineering; and Veterinary Medicine. Home to Canada Research Chairs, a UNESCO Chair in Island Studies and Sustainability, endowed and sponsored research chairs, and 3M National Teaching Fellows, UPEI comprises a community of talented and dedicated faculty and staff who provide exceptional learning experiences to Canadian and international students under their tutelage.
In addition to its main campus in Charlottetown, UPEI has established the Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation in St. Peter's Bay, PEI. The University also has an international campus in Cairo, Egypt, offering degrees in business administration, mathematical and computational sciences, and sustainable design engineering. It also has postsecondary exchange programs with universities in numerous countries. As well, post-secondary students in Asia, Africa, and Europe can earn certain UPEI degrees, based on the University's curriculum and rigorous educational standards, while living in their home countries.
With millions of dollars in scholarships, international exchange and experiential learning opportunities, expanding professional and graduate programs, and outstanding student-faculty interaction, UPEI offers students an educational experience designed to help them reach their potential as future leaders.
