Teaching

To our students we offer an outstanding and continuously evolving learning and study environment. Driven by the ambition to assist our students in developing the best possible foundation for their professional careers, we incorporate technology into teaching and learning in multiple and often innovative ways. This effort has been consistently recognized in the form of numerous awards earned by our faculty, awards extended by a variety of parties, from the department level all the way to the Canadian national level.
