Laurentian University

Laurentian University is emerging as much more than a primarily undergraduate university. Located in the mineral-rich Sudbury Basin, Laurentian is top-ranked for its expertise and NSERC funding in economic geology and mining-related research. Its freshwater lakes, occupational health and environmental research centres are unparallelled, and its contribution to dark matter research at Sudbury’s SNOLab was crowned with a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2015.

From its solid reputation as an postsecondary destination of choice for English and French undergraduate program offerings and its comprehensive approach to Indigenous research and education, it is making its mark in the research community as a recognized national leader with global reach.

L’Université Laurentienne se classe au 1er rang des universités canadiennes de premier cycle en termes de revenus subventionnés générés par la recherche. Située à Sudbury, en Ontario, sur les territoires traditionnels des Premières Nations d’Atikameksheng Anishnawbek et de Wahnapitae, la Laurentienne se fait un devoir de renforcer les fondements du savoir dans l’enseignement supérieur et la recherche, ainsi que d’offrir une expérience universitaire unique en français et en anglais, assortie d’une approche globale de l’éducation autochtone.
