Nipissing University

Nipissing University is a small, independent public university on the shores of Lake Nipissing in North Bay, Ontario. It became its own degree-granting university on 10 December 1992, after decades as an affiliate college, and has kept the feel of a small campus ever since — around 5,400 students in total, with roughly 3,800 studying full-time undergraduate programs.

That smaller scale shows up in the classroom: average class sizes run around 35 students, which is unusually intimate for a Canadian university. It also shows up after graduation — Nipissing reports a 96.2% graduate employment rate, and the university awards roughly $4.5 million in scholarships to students each year.

This page walks Nepalese students through what Nipissing University actually offers — its campus, programs, admission requirements and everyday student life — with support available through Goreto’s education counselling in Nepal for anyone planning to study in Canada.

Nipissing University Campus

Nipissing’s main campus is in North Bay, Ontario. A former satellite campus in Brantford, Ontario closed in 2019, so North Bay is now the university’s only campus for incoming students.
