Lighting up the world in Learning
The University of Prince Edward Island is committed to our students and professors learning from each other — inside the classroom and out, on the Island and beyond. With opportunities such as co-operative education and internships, teaching practicums and nursing placements, international exchange agreements, faculty exchanges, and students doing real-world research alongside their professors — on campus and off — our students are applying what they learn in the classroom to the world around them. Now THIS is learning.
