University of Victoria

Student life

You have your pick of outdoor excitement here. Take a sailing course, hike a mountain, explore the coastline by kayak or drive up island for a weekend of skiing. Victoria may be surrounded by rainforest but it’s actually a lot drier than nearby Seattle or Vancouver. Victoria is home to the warmest winters in Canada. Snow isn’t common in the city, so golfers, hikers and tennis enthusiasts can play outside all year long. In addition, UVic boasts more than 200 student clubs and course unions to help you exercise your environmental, cultural, recreational, religious and political passions.

Career services

UVic was also named one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers for the third year in a row. Nationally, 55 organizations were recognized for a range of initiatives that attract and retain employees from diverse communities. UVic was one of only three universities included on the list, and one of two organizations in Victoria.
