About Us
Welcome to Graduate Studies at Carleton University! You are joining a community of more than 5,000 students who have chosen to challenge themselves and the world around them.
At Carleton, you will discover a safe, supportive and student-centred environment, where mental health and wellness, accessibility, sustainability and inclusion are paramount. As a caring and connected community of educators and support staff, we will be with you every step of the way—from your application on through to your graduation and beyond.
We are not just about serving and connecting with our students, we are connected with the world around us—local and global. Your learning is rooted in experiential and work-integrated opportunities, where a transdisciplinary approach will challenge everything you thought you knew.
Our physical location in Canada’s capital city, alongside our drive to develop new and creative solutions to society’s biggest challenges, will give you the freedom and resources you need to explore, experiment and create real impact.
Creating change in the world requires all of us to work together—so your journey will be supported by more than one facet of the Carleton community:
- Carleton graduate student awards and funding opportunities will help you fund your education;
- A diverse array of career events, skill development, workshops, one-on-one writing support, and career planning consultations will drive your continued professional development;
- Your graduate research could be highlighted through our competitions such as the Three Minute Thesis (3MT). and across our university communication channels. Check out our Awards of Distinction page featuring our grad students who have won prestigious awards;
- Your continued educational exploration will be facilitated by the more than 100 programs, pathways and specializations we offer our students.
