The University of Western Ontario, public, coeducational institution in London, Ontario. Originally affiliated with the Church of England, the school was chartered in 1878 as Western University of London, Ontario; first degrees were granted in 1883. The Anglican connection was severed in 1908, and the present name was adopted in 1923.

The university includes three affiliated colleges: Brescia College, Huron College, and King’s College.

The university confers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. The institution has faculties of applied health sciences, arts, dentistry, education, engineering science, kinesiology, law, medicine, music, nursing, part-time and continuing education, science, and social science, with graduate courses offered in most areas. Other components of the university include the faculty of graduate studies; schools of business administration, journalism, and library and information science; and three teaching hospitals.

Research facilities at the university include the Applied Electrostatics Research Centre, the Centre for Activity and Ageing, the Centre for Research and Teaching in Canadian Native Languages, the Human Nutrition Centre, the Centre for Studies in Family Medicine, and the Centre for Women’s Studies and Feminist Research.
