Affiliated Institutions

As the founding institution of Western University, since 1863, Huron has remained strategically small to best serve the needs of its students, while still being able to provide unlimited access to Western University's extensive event, club, activity and athletic offerings. Huron's affiliation with Western's main campus means students can access a broad range of clubs and activities, while benefitting from Huron's strong professor-to-student ratio and uniquely personalized model of support delivery.

All Western clubs, activities, facilities, and services are available to Huron students. Huron students graduate with a globally-celebrated degree from Western University with a Huron distinction.

Additionally, Huron is the first university in Ontario to partner with Harvard Business School's HBX program and boasts the highest rate of acceptances, per capita, to the Richard Ivey School of Business. Our close relationships with these prestigious business schools further bolsters our ability to graduate business leaders who are capable and eager to balance corporate effectiveness with social responsibility.

International Involvement

Huron recognizes one of the best ways to cultivate inspirational global citizens is to ensure they are able to actively engage with other countries and cultures. In the spirit of teaching our students the invaluable lessons of lived international experience, we offer a variety of international initiatives, including several formal exchange agreements, the opportunity to study abroad and the opportunity to volunteer and work overseas.

Our affiliation with Western means your international opportunities are endless. Yet, unlike at many larger institutions, you will always be supported by one of our International Student Engagement team members, so you will feel safe, comfortable and able to succeed on whichever campus you decide to grow and learn within.

For those students who are seeking international involvement, within the comfort of our own campus, you can take part in countless clubs and fun activities that reflect the various cultural interests of our international community.
