Memorial welcomes the world

Close to 1,000 students from more than 80 countries have chosen Memorial for their undergraduate and graduate studies, adding greatly to the diversity of our community.

They come to us from Egypt, Nigeria, the United States, China, Mexico, Germany and many other locations around the world, in search of an enriching experience and a chance to become all that they can.

They have found that we offer a warm welcome, a safe environment and a high-quality education to international students.

Memorial is the largest university in Atlantic Canada and one of the country's top five schools for comprehensive course offerings.

It's also one of the most affordable universities in Canada. Undergraduate international students pay about $8,800 a year in tuition fees, much lower than the national average of $13,000.
