Brescia University College

Brescia University College, located in London, Ontario, is Canada’s only women’s university. Affiliated with Western University, Brescia sits on over 40 acres of beautiful green space and is home to 1,067 students. Programs at Brescia include: Bachelor’s degrees in Arts and Social Science, Management, and Organizational Studies, Family Studies, Health Sciences, and Kinesiology; and Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Foods and Nutrition. We also offer a Preliminary Year program for high school students. With a student-to-faculty ratio of 14 to 1, we offer a student-centred experience, with invigorating classroom discussions in addition to a strong residence and extracurricular experience. Brescia is noted for its ability to develop its students as leaders and has many programs and initiatives that nurture leadership. These include: the Institute for Women in Leadership (iWIL), The Circle Women’s Centre, a Tri-mentoring Program that matches first-year students with senior students and senior students with community mentors, and a new Dimensions in Leadership degree. The Ursuline Sisters, who first founded Brescia in 1919, believed that real change could only be effected from working within the world. That strong base of community development and involvement permeates the curriculum and the spirit of Brescia today.
