Welcome to Bishop’s University
Our goal is to offer Canada’s foremost undergraduate education. We aspire to be the institution of choice for outstanding young people seeking academic excellence in a community that instils curiosity, confidence, courage and a sense of responsibility in its students.
It is one of three universities in the province of Quebec that teach primarily in English (the others being McGill University and Concordia University, both in Montreal). The university shares a campus with its neighbour, Champlain College Lennoxville, an English-language public college. It remains one of Canada's few primarily undergraduate universities, and is linked with three others in the Maple League. Established in 1843 as Bishop's College and affiliated with the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge in 1853, the school remained under the Anglican church's direction from its founding until 1947. Since that time, the university has been a non-denominational institution.
The reasons our students choose Bishop’s are as varied as our students themselves, but the common themes are that our students don’t want to be a number and lost in the crowd, they want to be part of a community, a family, and have their voice heard. They also want to experience university, not just attend an institution of higher learning. Whatever your reason for choosing Bishop’s, remember that we are all Gaiters and are proud of it!
The BU difference
Located in the beautiful Eastern Townships region of the province of Quebec, Bishop’s is a unique English-language university that offers its students an undergraduate university experience like no other.
These elements, when combined, form the essence and the soul of the Bishop’s community.
