Memorial University of Newfoundland is the only university in Newfoundland and Labrador. There are approximately 17,000 students. Nearly 90 percent come from Newfoundland and Labrador; the remaining 10 percent includes students from every province in Canada, the United States, and 100 other countries.

Memorial brings together an impressive collection of people – students, teachers, researchers, scholars ­– and advanced technology. Its extraordinary blend of disciplines includes marine biology, archaeology, oceanography, folklore, linguistics, nautical science, maritime history, and aquaculture, to name only a few.

Capitalizing on its unique mid-north and Atlantic location, Memorial emphasizes outreach education by serving as a community resource and expanding its international linkages to promote individual, cultural and economic growth. The university offers a high-quality, affordable educational experience at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Excellence in education is furthered by highly successful cooperative education programs that weld theory and practice.

In addition to programs offered on its St. John’s campus, Memorial offers several degrees at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, Memorial’s campus in the western Newfoundland city of Corner Brook.

The university also offers specialized programs at a campus in Harlow, England, and French language and culture immersion at the Institut Frecker on the island of St-Pierre.

Memorial’s Fisheries and Marine Institute is North America’s most comprehensive marine training institute dedicated to education, training and industrial support in ocean industries.

But what makes Memorial truly unique is its people – the 900 faculty and 1,400 staff who, together with the large student body, have created a distinctive environment conducive to learning, personal growth and expanding knowledge for today and tomorrow.
