Mission

Our mission
Our raison d'être

Since 1848, the University of Ottawa has been Canada's university: a reflection, an observatory and a catalyst of the Canadian experience in all its complexity and diversity. Our university is characterized by its unique history, its commitment to bilingualism, its location both in the heart of the national capital and at the juncture of French and English Canada, its special commitment to the promotion of French culture in Ontario and to multiculturalism. As a result and through the groundbreaking work of our community members, we are uniquely positioned among Canada's research-intensive institutions to give students a remarkable education, to enrich the intellectual and cultural life of Canada and to help the country achieve greater international prominence.

Reviews
The University of Ottawa was first established as the College of Bytown in 1848 by the first bishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Ottawa, Joseph-Bruno Guigues.Placed under the direction of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, it was renamed the College of Ottawa in 1861 and received university status five years later through a royal charter.On 5 February 1889, the university was granted a pontifical charter by Pope Leo XIII, elevating the institution to a pontifical university.The university was reorganized on July 1, 1965, as a corporation, independent from any outside body or religious organization. As a result, the civil and pontifical charters were kept by the newly created Saint Paul University, federated with the university. The remaining civil faculties were retained by the reorganized university.
Great bilingual university in the national capital!! Large variety of programs offered. Some of their student services could be improved though.
This is the university to choose to connect with Canada's next political leaders. The staff here are highly efficient, the affordable university buffet with the biggest selection + gaming systems built in is second to none, and the staff eagerly connect students with scholarship opportunities to intern or study abroad. I did 2 exchanges in Paris & Hong Kong through UOttawa's business school and was put in a program paying $4000 in addition to internship salary to do a summer internship in China or the United States. Clubs here are plentiful, and the campus population is very accepting of individual differences. Location? Always lots going on in Downtown Ottawa, just across the street from campus. Fellow Ontarians, note that 18 is the legal drinking age in the Quebec half of this city, you're legal from year 1, unlike in other Ontarian cities. Take my word for it, in comparison to schools like ESSEC France, UOttawa is top notch shots fired at ESSEC! You'll know what I'm talking about if you've exchanged there.
I taught a geographic information systems workshop here and the facilities were wonderful and everyone was so nice.
Central location and clean amenities. Students are generally helpful. I would have loved to give uOttawa many stars but the treatment Part-time Professors receive is disappointing. PT profs are underpaid, and, in some cases, their payments are delayed!!! Does the university care? Unfortunately, the rift is wide between decision makers and change makers, PT Profs who shape education on the ground and who speak up for their rights regardless of being ignored, excluded or belittled! I am not surprised when there are complaints on sexism and racism that students and staff face. There are, however, professors and students who speak up against discriminatory, racist, and unprofessional treatment.
