University of Saskatchewan

The University of Saskatchewan (USask) is a research-intensive university leading the way in tackling relevant, global issues such as water and food security. Our location in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada uniquely positions us to find innovative solutions to these challenges.

Research at USask, such as energy and mineral resources, synchrotron sciences, human-animal-environment health and Indigenous Peoples, is enhanced by our world-class facilities, including the Canadian Light Source synchrotron, VIDO-InterVac, the Global Institute for Food Security, the Global Institute for Water Security and the Sylvia Fedoruk Centre for Nuclear Innovation.

We offer a variety of excellent programs ranging from business to medicine to engineering. By working together across traditional disciplinary boundaries, and recognizing different ways of knowing and understanding, we bring a fresh perspective to crucial global challenges, and to learning and discovery.

Our community includes more than 26,600 students, with about 3,300 self-declared Indigenous students and more than 3,400 international students, creating a welcoming environment with a culture of growth and deeper understanding that extends beyond the classroom.

After convocation, students join our illustrious alumni family of more than 175,000 passionate leaders, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, educators, researchers and professionals in a broad array of disciplines, who contribute to communities around the world. Our graduates continue to build on our history of success to address the world’s challenges, and carry forward our legacy as the university the world needs.
