LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.

MISSISSAUGA

We share with our city much more than our name. Groundbreaking science. Culture. Innovation. Business. Opportunity. It's in our curriculum – and in our backyard.

Mississauga is Canada’s seventh-largest city and one of its safest and most vibrant. See an open-air concert at Celebration Square. Check out live sports at the Paramount Centre. Connect with friends at Square One, Ontario’s largest shopping centre. As a student, you’ll receive a special bus pass to travel fare-free across the city – at any hour, on any day – so you can do it all.

Toronto – Canada’s world-renowned cultural capital – is right next door on our Eastern border. Together, these cities form Canada's two largest life science sectors, North America's fastest growing technology market, and one of the world's most diverse and dynamic city regions. Welcome to your neighbourhood.

THE NATURAL

Enjoy the view. Your Instagram followers certainly will.

Imagine. In the morning, you’re studying cancer therapies in one of the greenest, most comprehensive labs in North America. In the afternoon, you’re exploring the green beauty of this centuries-old forest. At U of T Mississauga, it’s just a five-minute walk from the middle of the action to the middle of nature.

Stroll along the Credit River. See deer running in the fields. Soak in the joys of our gorgeous campus. Here, the only thing more stunning than the architecture of our award-winning buildings is the biodiversity of our tree-lined landscape.

SUPPORTING YOUR GROWTH

As an international student from Brazil, Thaisa Tylinski Sant'Ana had a long to-do list. She had to figure out her health care, open bank accounts. Switch phone plans. But when she turned to her fellow international students, as well as the wider UTM community, she felt surrounded by kindness and support.

“ During my time at UTM, I was exposed to so many opportunities for growth. U of T provided me the freedom to explore a nonlinear path and to grow as a person, and in different areas of my life.”

— UTM Abroad experience to Italy (ITA235)

My UTM Abroad experience to Italy enhanced my learning outside of the classroom, challenged me to problem solve in a foreign context, and enabled me to step out of my comfort zone, resulting in: personal, academic, and professional development. Not to mention trying foods like arancini and bread with chicory in Italy was delicious!
