About

The University of Ottawa is the world's largest bilingual (English-French) university. Located in Canada's capital, it has unique access to government, policy, and diplomatic institutions. Its law faculty offers both common law and civil law degrees, and many programs are available in both official languages. The proximity to Parliament Hill makes it a top destination for political science and public policy students.
