Redeemer University

Redeemer University is a private Christian liberal arts and science university located on a 86-acre campus in Ancaster, which is part of the city of Hamilton, Ontario.

It was founded in 1982 and offers 39 different majors and streams that culminate in either a bachelor of arts, bachelor of science or bachelor of education degree.

Students in all programmes can take advantage of internships, volunteer and off-campus opportunities as well as career guidance through the Centre for Experiential Learning and Careers.

Redeemer University prides itself on being an interdenominational institution, with students representing more than 50 different denominations. Though a small community of roughly 800 students, the college welcomes international students from all over the world. The average class size is 20.

The institution’s main facilities were constructed in 1985 and consist of one comprehensive academic building, 43 townhouse-style residences, 20 apartment-style units, a three-storey residence hall and a student recreation centre.

There are also athletic and recreational facilities for student and off-campus groups and in 2011, in partnership with Ancaster Soccer Club, Redeemer opened its domed athletic facility.

The campus houses two research institutes, the Pascal Centre for Advanced Studies in Faith and Science and The Dooyeweerd Centre for Christian Philosophy.

Each year, the Centre for Christian Scholarship hosts two on-campus events: a fall conference every October and the “World and Our Calling Lectures” every January.
