University of King's College, Halifax

The University of King's College is Canada's oldest chartered university, founded by Loyalists in Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1789. Located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, since 1920, the King’s of today is a small and extraordinarily lively academic community, built on an Oxford-style quadrangle and framed by the stately architecture of Andrew Cobb.

The college is home to 1,200 students and is known nationally and internationally for its interdisciplinary programmes in the humanities and journalism. King’s has a unique partnership with Dalhousie University, the largest university in the Maritimes, which gives King’s students access to the resources, facilities, classes Dalhousie offers.
