Memorial University is the perfect place to embark on a scientific journey!

Get set up for success this September with Everything Science 2026 – your introduction to studying science at Memorial. This academic orientation will introduce you to the Dean of Science’s executive team, our departments, academic advisors, research opportunities, community partners, and student societies.

The Faculty of Science at Memorial University is home to nine departments covering a wide range of disciplines, with many specializations available. Our combination of course, lab work, field work, and research opportunities ensures our students are well prepared for whatever path they choose. Everything Science 2026 will give you the info, support, and connections you need to dive in and choose your next adventure.

The Orientation Day experience begins with Memorial’s campus-wide Welcome Ceremony on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026, at the Field House (9:30 a.m. arrival for a 10 a.m. start). This is your official welcome to the Memorial community and includes senior leaders, students, live music, Sammy the Sea-Hawk and more!

Join us at the Field House on September 8, 2026 at 9:30 a.m to discover all the exciting ways to pursue science at Memorial – and see how everything really is science here.

After the ceremony, student leaders will guide you directly to Everything Science 2026. Start your day at the Welcome Ceremony to get the full Orientation Day experience and start your university journey connected, informed and ready for the semester ahead.
