Students at the University of Guelph-Humber are constantly benefitting from the contemporary approach to learning, the continued investment in students, and the commitment to undertaking research that helps shape and define course materials. There is always something new and exciting that students can engage with, including exciting opportunities to enhance prospects, or new funding opportunities to make study more comfortable for students.

Recent examples of developments include the university winning a prestigious Network of International Business Schools (NIBS) Worldwide Case Competition. Students were able to defeat 15 teams from around the world to claim the championship, bringing recognition to themselves and the institution.

And in an example of new opportunities to make study more accessible, students in the Early Childhood Studies program are now potentially eligible for two new scholarships worth CAD 2,500 per year.

With the unique nature of the partnership between the University of Guelph and Humber College, students at Guelph-Humber benefit from professors and instructors at both institutions. Faculty are experts within their chosen field, many of whom remain active within their profession and/or have completed extensive research projects.

This contemporary faculty expertise is of great benefit to students who receive the highest quality instruction and access to the latest research, all of which equips them for employment in their chosen profession or further study. Staff are not just experts in their subject – they are also excellent tutors, fostering critical thinking skills and inspiring students to question the knowledge shared with them.

Along with the faculty experience, students benefit from small class sizes that give students more time with their teachers, working closely with them and gaining more time to tap into their wisdom.
