萨省大学University of Saskatchewan成立于1907年,是一所有近19,000多名全日生的百年名校,2010年《麦克林》杂志加拿大大学排名中,位居顶级大学第十。该校素以学风严谨,教育水平高而闻名,曾培养出2名诺贝尔奖获奖者和72名洛德科研奖获奖者。在生物技术、化学、神经学、免疫学、大气研究、地质、农学、光学等科研领域中,萨省大学在北美和国际上都享有领先声誉。基于强大的师资和科研实力,该校也是专业设置最全的加拿大大学之一。仅在生物学科,就有共40多个相关专业,这一数字远远超过其它顶级院校。
萨省大学位于加拿大中部大平原上的萨斯喀彻温省首府——萨斯卡通市。这是个农业大省,人口不密、民风淳朴、生活费用较低。该省有10万多个湖泊,是著名的旅游休闲胜地。萨斯卡通市气候四季分明,日照时间较长,冬季较短,移民不多,环境较适宜国际学生学习。多年来,该大学对国际学生的服务也相当友善、稳定。
As our university prepares to celebrate 100 years of discovery in 2007, we are building on a dynamic research culture that enriches the academic experience for our students, creates new knowledge across a broad array of disciplines, and helps improve the economic, social and cultural vitality of our region and beyond.
Home to renowned research centres such as the Canadian Light Source synchrotron, the Community-University Institute for Social Research, and the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization, the University of Saskatchewan is one of Canada’s leading research-intensive universities.
Over the next decade, we will establish the U of S as one of the top 10 medical-doctoral universities in Canada and one of a select few internationally in key areas.
Key to this pursuit of new and strengthened areas of pre-eminence is the talent and imagination of our researchers. We are proud of the research, scholarly and artistic accomplishments of our faculty and students, as well as the impact that they have on health care, agriculture, technology, education, environmental challenges, economics, and policy development in communities around the globe.
New knowledge through research, scholarly and artistic work underlies all academic endeavors across our 13 colleges. In a climate of mutual reinforcement of teaching and research, our faculty and students – both undergraduate and graduate -- are exploring an impressive range of important questions and issues that change our fundamental understanding of the world and our place in it.
In our U of S centennial year, we will proudly host 5,000 scholars from across Canada at Congress 2007, the annual conference of the Canadian Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences.
I invite you to explore our Research site (www.usask.ca/research), meet some of our innovators, visit our research centres, learn about our R & D opportunities, and experience our sense of discovery.
