academic programs attract a diverse mix of incredible students, scholars, researchers and staff.

Nova Scotia is at the far eastern end of Canada’s coastline. Rugged and atmospheric landscape, infused with the Celtic roots of the locals, often make this area of North America feel more like Ireland or Scotland. Halifax is a busy port settlement famous for its maritime history, with an iconic star-shaped citadel in the centre of the urban area. To the north, Truro is a charming town just downriver from the enchanting Cobequid Bay.
