Your undergraduate years will be like no others in your life. Spend them at King's.

Unique Programmes

Most post-secondary institutions teach using the historic division of subjects into separate disciplines. At King’s, with our Foundation Year Programme and interdisciplinary upper-year programmes, we have eliminated these traditional separations, focusing instead on the ways they interact and overlap. Students in the College’s School of Journalism also learn to see and share the big picture, discovering what it means to be reflective journalists who can provide context for the stories they tell.

Unique Community

We are a community where, as a student, you will be taken seriously from the start, where you will know faculty, staff and your peers by name, and they will know you. The College's diverse traditions—from Classics in the Quad theatre productions to academic-gown-clad Formal Meal—set the stage for an integrated experience where intellectual life and extracurricular life are closely intertwined. We can't tell you how you will be changed by your experience at King's, but we know that you will grow, and this transformation will prepare you for whatever direction you choose to take in the future.

Unique Interests

By nature of our interdisciplinary approach, King's can provide an engaging educational experience for students' individual interests. Our Foundation Year Programme caters to both arts and the sciences students—and a middle ground between—and can set the groundwork for education and careers in such fields as music, theatre, medicine, business and law. There's a reason we call it the Foundation Year Programme. More >>

Unique Backgrounds & Perspectives

King's is enjoyed by students of many backgrounds, geographical locations and academic perspectives. For the Haligonian, King's provides the opportunity for an unmatched educational experience at arm's reach, and for those from elsewhere in the province, the College offers a chance to live in and explore a bigger city, while still staying close to home. The East Coast is host to a new lifestyle and atmosphere for those venturing to vibrant Halifax from all parts of Canada, and our international students can profit from both a world-renowned liberal arts education and an affordable experience that can be chosen based on fit rather than expense. Coming from CEGEP, an IB programme or another university? There's a place for you here, too. More >>
