Concerning the University of Ottawa

The largest bilingual (English-French) university in the world is the University of Ottawa. Situated in the center of Canada’s capital, we enjoy easy access to all of the major national institutions.

The Oblates of Mary Immaculate established the College of Bytown in 1848 as a multilingual Catholic institution, with instruction offered in both French and English from the first.

The newly renamed College of Ottawa was granted a pontifical charter in 1889, and in 1866 it was granted a royal charter, making it a university. The university was sponsored by the province when the Oblates gave up control of it in 1965. It is now a secular university.
