Wilfrid Laurier University – Brantford Campus

Laurier's Brantford Campus

Our Brantford Campus has quickly established itself as a dynamic institution offering a unique combination of liberal arts and professional programs.

Since 1999, the Brantford campus has transformed the downtown core of the City of Brantford into what is now a thriving student community. The campus is home to more than 3,000 students and is one of the fastest growing university campuses in Ontario. If there is one thing our students and alumni agree on, it's that Laurier offers a fantastic overall university experience. That is why in 2017, 2018 and 2019, out of all undergraduate students surveyed across Canada, Laurier student satisfaction ranked the the highest in the Maclean's University Rankings.

We offer a diverse number of programs on our Brantford Campus, including Community Health, Criminology, Digital Media & Journalism, English, Health Administration, History, Human Rights & Human Diversity, Indigenous Studies, Law & Society, Psychology, Social & Environmental Justice, and Youth & Children's Studies. We also offer a Bachelor of Arts and Science (BASc) in Public Health, a Bachelor of Business Technology Management, a Bachelor of Design (BDes) in User Experience (UX) Design, a Bachelor of Fine and Applied Arts (BFAA) in Game Design & Development and a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW). Our LLB + BA program allows students to earn a Laurier Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree (in either Criminology, Law & Society or Human Rights & Human Diversity) and a law degree (LLB) from the University of Sussex, United Kingdom (UK), in only 6 years.

New academic offerings at our Brantford campus include:

  • Humanities with Leadership Foundations (BA)
  • Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Psychology with a specialization in Forensic Psychology
  • In 2016, Laurier signed an agreement to affiliate with one of the world’s top 100 educational institutions to offer students an opportunity to earn a Laurier Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree (in either Criminology, Law & Society, or Human Rights & Human Diversity) and a law degree (LLB) from the University of Sussex, United Kingdom (UK), in only 6 years. Learn more about this program opportunity on our website
