For more than 110 years, Laurier has been a premier destination for students who want to excel inside and outside of the classroom. Everywhere you look, people are inspired together in how they learn, lead and build lifelong relationships. From staff who take pride in meaningful connections with students, to faculty who include students in ground-breaking research and resume-building projects, to the student-to-student interactions – you will know and feel you belong at Laurier.

Our strong partnerships with the cities and regions we call home bring university learning to life. Our students lead lives of influence and impact through community placements, volunteering and local job opportunities 

No matter how you choose to live your Laurier experience, you are a Golden Hawk, which means you are part of a tight-knit, supportive community that aims high and works hard. Be part of a student experience that inspires you to give back and make a difference. 

On Laurier’s Brantford campus, we’re in the business of transformation. Our programs are mission-driven as we respond to the future of work by creating innovative programs that will fill industry gaps before they even arrive. Programs like Game Design and Development, Business Technology Management and User Experience Design are reinventing the world of work and technology by putting people first. Our programs are designed to challenge you to make the world a better place for everyone. 

Our unique architecture and campus feel, where campus and community are one and the same, has become one of our most defining and celebrated features. Laurier’s Brantford campus has revitalized the downtown core of Brantford for more than 20 years. Through collaborative, sustained partnership, the university campus has developed into a thriving student community. 

Shaped by its location on the historic Grand River and proximity to the major industrial and consumer markets of North America, Brantford is a thriving community that is home to a number of global business operations, a healthy arts and culture scene, a world-class trail system and several festivals and events.
