International Students

UPEI has a growing reputation as a premier educational destination for students from around the world. The campus welcomes more than 1,600 international students from more than 90 countries each year: that represents about 30% of the entire student body.

As an international student, you help UPEI grow and learn as a campus community with the addition of your cultural diversity and world perspective. We can't wait to welcome you!

Students are attracted to the high-quality education and the small, safe location with all the services students need. Experience Canadian culture, PEI style! Our International Student Guide has more information about Prince Edward Island, and UPEI.

International Buddy Program

New incoming international students are paired with a returning domestic or international student to be their buddy. These buddies share their personal experiences with new international students. The primary goal of the International Buddy Program is to provide assistance for a smooth transition to Canadian culture for new international students.

By assisting these new students with things such as adapting to a new country, culture, and environment, and create a more relaxing and hospitable atmosphere for new international students. Visit the International Buddy Program website and our UPEI International Buddy Program Facebook group for more information.
