Our University’s Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone. We are located on traditional Blackfoot Confederacy territory.

We honour the Blackfoot people and their traditional ways of knowing in caring for this land, as well as all Indigenous Peoples who have helped shape and continue to strengthen our University community.

With approximately 8,400 students from nearly 100 countries, including more than 1,100 visa and permanent resident students, we are large enough to deliver world-class teaching and research, yet small enough to provide you with a personalized student experience and all the support you need to succeed.

“

I was inspired to study at the University of Lethbridge because it is a world renowned top research institution. Even though we are a small campus we make incredible strides. My program is teaching me how to think about people and society, and one day when I become a judge, I can make a positive impact on the wider Canadian society and on women and girls at large.”

“

China Accounting Lethbridge Campus

Deciding to study at the University of Lethbridge, boiled down to three main things: the province’s economy, work opportunities, and access to affordable cost of study and living.

After balancing these ideals with other provinces and universities, I found that the University of Lethbridge is the best choice overall.”
