About Halifax

Meeting one of the 78th HIghlanders.(Nova Scotia Dept. of Tourism, Heritage and Culture)

Dalhousie University is located in beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia. One of the oldest cities in Canada, it was settled around the Halifax Citadel, the star-shaped fortress overlooking Halifax Harbour and now a national historic site.

Halifax Citadel. (Nova Scotia Dept. of Tourism, Heritage and Culture)
Since its founding in 1818, Dalhousie University has played a prominent role in Halifax, but at the same time, it's been shaped by the city's vibrant culture, geography and friendly people. We think it's a wonderful place to live, a fun place to unwind, and a great place to study and gain work experience.

Take the time to explore our city...

And our province, Nova Scotia:
