More about Dalhousie University
Dalhousie University is one of Canada's top research and teaching universities. It provides over 13,000 students from Nova Scotia, Canada and abroad, with a first-class post-secondary education in more than 125 undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programs. Dalhousie University was founded as a non-denominational institution in 1818 - with the help of booty captured during the War of 1812 - by the Earl of Dalhousie, at the time Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia. But, the university did not function as such until the 1860s, when it was reorganized. The first degrees were awarded in 1866.
