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
Great under snowfall, historic & modern buildings. Connected to the train, has a Tim Hortons. Good place for studying up until 23h during weekdays
I have found some frustrating experiences with document requests at uOttawa. Every time you need an official document, there’s a $30 charge, which can add up quickly. Even more frustrating is that these documents sometimes lack the full information you need, which means you have to order an additional version, again with another $30 charge. Additionally, the university only offers physical copies, so if you need an electronic version, that’s yet another $30.nnThe system could be more transparent and student-friendly, especially given that these documents are often essential for career or academic progression. A better approach might be to bundle necessary information into one document and offer an option for electronic copies without additional fees. I hope the administration will consider more student-centered policies in the future.
Overpriced and Disappointing Student ExperiencennThe University of Ottawa is simply not worth the cost, especially when it comes to scholarships or reimbursements. The financial support offered barely makes a dent in the high tuition fees, and the expensive residence costs are unjustifiable. For example, Brooks Residence had issues with mold, which shows a lack of care for student health and well-being. Complaints about these conditions are often ignored, and there is little respect for students’ concerns.nnDespite being marketed as a top-tier school, it feels small, isolated, and lacking in engaging activities. The campus culture leaves much to be desired, with no real effort to build a vibrant student community. Instead, students are stuck paying exorbitant fees for a subpar experience.nnI would not recommend the University of Ottawa to anyone looking for a school that values its students and provides a worthwhile university experience.
I'm so sad and sorry to say this: if you are a new student with big dreams and goals in life, trust me, do not enroll at the University of Ottawa. It's a trap and a dream killer. I'm speaking from my experience, especially in the science faculty, particularly in the chemistry lab. The university lacks proper communication and professionalism. Many students are complaining about receiving zeros in their lab work for reasons unrelated to the actual lab performance. This is because the person in charge is abusive and sadistic, and they assign TAs who behave like submissive enforcers.nnMoreover, whoever is supposed to ensure the university upholds the quality of education standards seems either to be on vacation, asleep, or simply unqualified. I say this because all first-year students are shocked and disappointed. They lack experience and don't know their rights, and the chemistry lab staff take advantage of this, knowing that no one will check or hold them accountable. They are confident they won't face any consequences.nnThe final proof that I’m speaking the truth is simple: no one from the university will respond to this review, and they won’t seek feedback from students to understand what’s really going on.
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.
