About the university
The Université de l'Ontario français (UOF) is a small French-language university in downtown Toronto. It offers honours bachelor's degrees (baccalauréats spécialisés) in business administration, social work, mental health, digital communication and media, economics and social innovation, urban environments and human plurality, plus education degrees and short microcredentials in areas such as AI and data analysis.
All teaching is in French, so UOF only suits Indian students who are fluent in French. International tuition for 2026-2027 is low for Toronto: about CAD 13,000 for a 30-credit year in most programmes and CAD 17,220 for business administration. UOF International also explains the federal pilot for students in francophone minority communities.
