About
A bilingual public research university located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, the University of Ottawa (French: Université d’Ottawa), also known as uOttawa or U of O. Across the Rideau Canal in the Sandy Hill neighborhood, the main campus is situated on 42.5 hectares (105 acres), just northeast of Downtown Ottawa.
The first bishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Ottawa, Joseph-Bruno Guigues, founded what is now known as the University of Ottawa in 1848 as the College of Bytown. The College of Ottawa was established in 1861 and placed under the control of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Five years later, a royal charter granted it university status.
Pope Leo XIII handed the university a pontifical charter on February 5, 1889, making it a pontifical university. On July 1, 1965, the university underwent a reorganization into a corporation that was apart from any outside entity or religious organization. As a result, the newly established Saint Paul Institution, which was federated with the university, maintained the civil and pontifical charters. The reorganized university kept its surviving civil faculties.
The University of Ottawa is the world’s largest bilingual institution, speaking both English and French. The university has ten faculties, including the Telfer School of Management, the University of Ottawa Faculty of Social Sciences, the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine, and the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law, that is responsible for the administration of the university’s many academic programs. The University of Ottawa Library has 12 sites and a book collection that numbers more than 4.5 million. The institution is a member of Canada’s U15 group of research-intensive universities, with a 2022 research income forecast of 420 million Canadian dollars.
