EMBARK ON A GREATER TORONTO ADVENTURE
At the Crossroads of Imagination and Impact.
There is no better place for the enterprising student than the University of Toronto. A research and development hotbed that, along with partner hospitals, is awarded $1.4B in sponsored research funding each year.
Not only are our faculty celebrated the world over as industry visionaries, our campuses are just steps away from Bay Street’s movers and shakers, and a stone’s throw from the commercial heartlands of the Golden Horseshoe. Best of all, at Canada’s top university—routinely ranked #1 for funding, innovation, and research output—students can collaborate with friends and mentors in any field to build solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
Anchored by the Toronto Stock Exchange, one of the world’s largest exchange for energy firms, and a financial district that headquarters Canada’s five main banks, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is an economic powerhouse that nurtures unmatched talent in everything from cybersecurity to food security, and is acclaimed for its network of 15,000+ technology firms—the famed southern Ontario “digital corridor.”

The Greater Toronto Area is where the world comes to build, learn, play, build bridges, and celebrate diversity.
Savour subtropical snacks in summertime markets, drink in fall foliage on a woodland hike, and enjoy an outdoor skate with hot chocolate in December. We’ve got maple syrup festivals and indie film festivals, not to mention boardwalks, beaches, and buskerfests, complete with live music for every season and every mood. Whether you enjoy hiking through Scarborough’s scenic Rouge National Urban Park, watching a movie (or ten) at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival, or letting loose at an open-air concert at Mississauga’s Celebration Square, you’ll find that the Greater Toronto Area is a magnet for colour, flavour, and friendship.
