"Consider co-operative education at UPEI. It's the best decision I ever made!"

What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?  

My parents are from Edo State, Nigeria but I grew up in Lagos. My dad hired an agent to look for universities in Canada, and UPEI was one of the options. I chose UPEI because I liked what I had read about the Business program, and also because I incorrectly believed it never got colder than -7 degrees Celsius here.

UPEI awards research grants to 11 faculty members

UPEI has awarded research grants totalling $53,999.00 in 2023 to 11 outstanding faculty members. Five faculty members received internal research grants (IRG), and six were awarded SSHRC Explore research grants (SERG).

The IRG program supports research projects across a broad range of fields at UPEI. Through this internal funding, researchers provide high-quality student training opportunities and often develop new collaborations with others from different but complementary disciplines. The SERG program supports research pursuits in the Social Sciences and Humanities.
