EXPLORE HALIFAX/ KJIPUKTUK Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a mid-sized city on Canada’s East Coast; the largest east of Montreal. Students who live and study here experience the many benefits of life in a big city with the community feeling of a small town. Located against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, Halifax is known for the quality of life it provides its residents and is home to thousands of postsecondary students. The King’s campus is situated centrally within the city, meaning that a variety of cultural and environmental hot spots are within walking distance or easily accessible by bus.

Halifax offers the urban advantages of a rich restaurant and café culture, award-winning architecture, endless options for physical activity, including yoga, hiking, surfing and sailing, plus vibrant music venues and nightlife, all set in a landscape uniquely shaped by the surrounding ocean and the city’s natural beauty. A short drive outside the city brings you to red cliffs, vineyards, Atlantic surf, Nova Scotia’s longest whitesand beach, the world’s highest tides, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Kejimkujik National Park and Historic Site, and many other parks and protected wilderness areas.

Like King’s, Halifax is simultaneously historic and modern —an old city that is continually renewed through welcoming new perspectives, new cultures and new ways of doing things.

The beauty of King’s reflects the beauty of Nova Scotia.

A KING’S EDUCATION OPENS DOORS From your first day on King’s campus, you’ll begin developing the skills today’s employers value most: creative thinking, persuasive writing, clear communication and problem solving.

At King’s, we’ll help you connect your education to your future goals, whether in classrooms, workplaces or communities. When surveyed in 2026, 78% of King’s alumni reported that the knowledge, skills and abilities they gained throughout their degree were useful in the workforce.

Our approach to experiential learning is guided by four key priorities that help you: • develop a strong foundation of transferable skills through academic study and inquiry.

• gain early exposure to professional environments through paid on- and off-campus opportunities where you’ll learn by doing.

• build meaningful connections with alumni to explore career possibilities and grow professional networks.

8

• recognize and articulate the value of your education in terms of in-demand skills employers and graduate programs desire.

These priorities shape a range of programming initiatives that connect your education with real-world experience, such as: • undergraduate research assistantships with faculty.

• for-credit internship opportunities for every undergraduate degree program.

• summer internships and employment in areas like content creation, media, policy analysis, community development, digital innovation, theatre, non-profit work, health research and more.

King’s graduates thrive in journalism, law, education, public policy, the arts, business and more—because the world doesn’t just need specialists, it also needs big thinking, expansive leadership and broad-based communication.

UKINGS.CA/ EXPERIENTIAL-LEARNING

You’ll move fluidly between the two institutions throughout your education, seamlessly building your personalized academic experience by drawing on the strengths, opportunities, facilities and services of both universities.

UKINGS.CA/PROGRAMS 10

The specialized approach that distinguishes King’s, along with the scope and diversity of programs at Dalhousie, offer educational depth and breadth unrivalled at other small universities.

INTEGRATED THEMES AND INTERCONNECTED SUBJECTS Begin any degree with the Foundation Year Program (FYP) or through a general option for Arts (BA), Journalism and Media (Honours) (BJMH), Science (BSc) or Music (BMus). Once you’ve completed first year, you’ll plan your pathway in second year and beyond—choosing from a variety of program and course options, including King’s specialized honours programs and courses from the School of Journalism, Writing & Publishing.

King’s and Dalhousie share a Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and a Faculty of Science within the College of Arts & Science, giving you a rich diversity of program offerings. Because we are academically intertwined, you’ll get an intensive honours college experience alongside courses from a research-intensive university.

“I FEEL THAT MY EDUCATION AT KING’S HAS BEEN A HUGE ASSET THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, BOTH IN TERMS OF MY TRAINING/SKILLS AND THE HIGH STANDARDS THAT A KING’S DEGREE SIGNIFIES.” 11

FOUNDATION YEAR PROGRAM (FYP) Ready to level up your life with literature?

King’s Foundation Year Program is where bold thinking and curiosity thrive.

12

FYP AT KING’S: AN IDEAS ODYSSEY King’s Foundation Year Program (FYP) is a unique approach to first-year education: a journey through the past that gives you insight into the present. The FYP is a transformative beginning that invites you into conversations that span centuries, helping you see the world differently and build the confidence and capabilities needed for the rest of your studies, and into your chosen career field.

FYP sharpens your reading, writing and deep-thinking abilities—skills that will make you irreplaceable in the age of artificial intelligence (AI)—by allowing you to confront and respond thoughtfully to contradictions and uncertainty. You will examine many provocative, important and influential texts covering a variety of topics, including philosophy, history, literature, drama and the natural and social sciences. In a 2026 survey, alumni 13

“BECAUSE OF FYP AND THE INTELLECTUAL CIRCLES AT KING’S, MY CRITICAL THINKING AND WRITING SKILLS ARE ABOVE THOSE OF MY PEERS. I ENGAGE WITH THE WORLD IN A MORE NUANCED WAY. IN MY CAREER IN HISTORY, THIS MEANS I CAN BETTER PARSE BIASES AND CHALLENGE ACCEPTED NARRATIVES.”

most frequently identified critical thinking (83%), communication (78%) and ethical reasoning (63%) as key future-ready skills they gained at King’s.

AI replaces tasks, not thinkers. Learn in community and in conversation with others as you deepen your perspective by being immersed in big ideas, while also learning to develop a productive critical distance from them. FYP lays the groundwork for the thinking our future demands, teaching you how to analyze and solve problems intuitively.

The completely redesigned Bachelor of Journalism and Media (Honours), formerly the Bachelor of Journalism (Honours), starts with a sweeping introduction to the history and development of journalism, then teaches the core skills of reporting, video and audio production, and interviewing.

The BJMH is all about choice, and that begins right from first year.

You can opt for King’s Foundation Year Program (FYP), taking a journey through the past to gain a historical and culturally informed context for your Journalism and Media studies. If you prefer, you can take a more conventional first year and dive more deeply into journalism while taking electives in academic disciplines most relevant to the field.

You’ll focus on key skills, building on the foundation from first year in an intentional manner and beginning to prepare for work in a complex and evolving world, whether in traditional journalism careers or otherwise. Learn how to cover Indigenous communities in a responsible way while understanding the legacy of colonial structures such as the Indian Act and residential schools.

Third year is about specialization as you focus on advanced skills and a wide range of electives including courses on AI and journalism, creating a startup, Black Communities and the Media and identifying online disinformation. Throughout your four years you will be part of a working team, breaking news, streaming interviews and publishing multimedia features on King’s in-house news outlet, The Signal.

Get ready for your career or the next step in your educational journey.

Complete your honours project and pick from a choice of hands-on workshops to perfect your skills and knowledge. Learn about working in journalism and media fields in the professional practice seminar, then complete an internship that just might get you a job. Student interns have worked for newsrooms such as The Canadian Press, CBC, the Globe and Mail and Sportsnet, and at smaller outlets such as alt-weeklies and video production houses; the new program allows a wider range of placements. Most students complete internships in Canada, but students have also completed internships in New York, Chile and Beirut.

IMMERSIVE AND ENGAGING PROGRAMS In addition to the Bachelor of Journalism and Media (Honours) (pages 16–21), King’s offers three humanities-based, interdisciplinary combined honours programs.

Whether you pursue these subjects as a combined honours degree with another subject at Dalhousie, as a minor or certificate, or simply take electives in these programs, you’ll continue studying with the same community of faculty and peers you met in your first year.

You’ll take the same core courses as a cohort of students pursuing the same degree as you, and you’ll delve deeply into your chosen interdisciplinary field with intriguing elective courses.

History of Science and Technology (HOST) HOST explores the cultural and philosophical contexts of scientific knowledge and the role of science and technology in shaping human history from ancient times to our present moment—a time when we are acutely aware of how our relationship with the environment and our ever-expanding technologies will define our collective futures.

Contemporary Studies (CSP) The contemporary era is marked by continuous transformation, which generates not only new challenges but also new possibilities. CSP engages with the ideas, thinkers and movements that have contributed to new understandings of the world in which we live, work and play.

Early Modern Studies (EMSP) Many of the fundamental ideas about the world were shaped centuries ago. Between the 16th and early 19th centuries, thinkers and artists built some of the intellectual and cultural foundations of the modern world. EMSP allows you to explore these ideas and notions that shape who we are today and our place in the universe.

VIBRANT COMMUNITY King’s campus was designed around a central quadrangle known as The Quad, which will serve as the backdrop as you explore new perspectives and develop lifelong friendships. It’s surrounded by residences, college buildings, lecture halls, seminar rooms, the gymnasium and the library—with plenty of green space in between.

Day students, or those living off-campus, will receive the full King’s welcome and be integrated into our community through our many events, activities, supports and services. Deep care and attention are extended to every student at King’s, no matter where they live.

Whether you live on- or off-campus, the Dining Services team in Prince Hall is committed to providing you with great meal options for a variety of dietary needs. Its staff form a core part of the vibrant and bustling King’s community.

TIMELESS EXPERIENCES From events that have been passed on for generations to those that have been created more recently, King’s traditions are an opportunity for students to acknowledge our history while contributing to our vibrant future. As a King’s student, you can take part in beloved university traditions, on- and off-campus, such as: Matriculation

Formal Meal

Every year, first-year students clad in academic gowns mark the beginning of their life as members of the King’s scholarly community by signing the college’s register, otherwise known as the matricula.

Put on academic gowns and process into the dining hall with peers to hear Latin grace and a guest speaker and enjoy dinner with friends.

Water balloon fight As exam time approaches, King’s students take a moment to release some tension by having a water balloon fight in The Quad!

Big Night One of King’s most cherished traditions, this vibrant evening brings together students, faculty and staff to showcase their artistic talents. Highlighting the school’s musicians, dancers, poets, performers and visual artists, this event is where the community’s creativity comes to life.

President’s skating party Join the King’s community for a skating party at the Oval on the Halifax Commons, where students and friends alike are welcome. Afterward, head back to the President’s Lodge for hot drinks and snacks.

CHAPEL COMMUNITY, CHOIR AND KING’S CHORUS Although King’s is a secular university, it is also home to a vibrant chapel community.

The Chapel also hosts a variety of hikes, weekend retreats and other outdoor excursions that give you an opportunity to see the Nova Scotia/Mi’kma’ki countryside at its best.
