University of Ottawa - Telfer School of Management

The University of Ottawa, often referred to as uOttawa or U of O, is a leading international centre of management education and research. Located in the heart of Canada’s national capital, it is the world’s largest bilingual university where students may study in English, French or both languages.

Academic Highlights

The Telfer School of Management is one of only a few schools in North America with triple crown accreditation for business schools: AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS. It houses the IBM Centre for Business Analytics and Performance among its various research centres.

Location

The main campus is located on 42.5 hectares (105 acres) in the heart of Ottawa's Downtown Core (CBD). The main campus is bordered to the north by the ByWard Market district, to the east by Sandy Hill's residential area, and to the southwest by Nicholas Street, which runs adjacent to the Rideau Canal on the western half of the University.

The University of Ottawa was Canada's first bilingual university which had both royal and pontifical charters until it was reorganised in 1965 as an independent educational corporation.

As a general rule, Australian citizens do not need a study permit if they plan to participate in a university exchange program in Canada that lasts six months or less. However, every Australian citizen entering Canada for less than six months will still require an eTA which can be purchased online. More information for Australian citizens and other nationalities is available on the Government of Canada's website.

The University of Ottawa also provides some advice on visas, which can be found here.
