History
- Bishop’s University was founded as Bishop’s College in 1843, under the sponsorship of the Right Reverend G.J. Mountain, the Anglican Bishop of Quebec, with the assistance of a group of clergy and laymen from the Eastern Townships.
Education
- Bishop’s University is a predominantly residential, undergraduate university. Our primary concern is offering students a quality education in the fine arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, business and education.
- The residential aspect of our small size (2,400 full-time students) encourages students to immerse themselves in the complete Bishop’s experience.
Research
- Many people don’t realize that a primarily undergraduate, liberal education institution like Bishop’s can include a vibrant and thriving research component in its mandate. Bishop’s, however, is proof that one can.
- Our Research Office, under the direction of the Vice-Principal Academic, supports a wide range of scientific, scholarly, and creative research activities conducted by the faculty and students of the university.
Career
- The Career Development and Academic Support Office offers one on one counselling as well as group services to help students achieve academic success, as well as identify, clarify and achieve their academic and career objectives.
- Services focus on providing students with the skills and tools needed to achieve these objectives, meet Bishop’s requirements and facilitate a successful integration to university and transition from university life to the workplace.
- Students can also participate in various events and workshops such as Career Bootcamp and Career Day to help them be successful at school and in their transition to the workplace.

Kurikulum oke, dosen ahli dan maa kuliah berkesan
Pengalaman saya selama menempuh pendidikan dan berorganisasi merupakan proses yang sangat berharga dalam membentuk kemampuan profesional dan pribadi saya. Sebagai lulusan S1 Kehutanan yang aktif dalam berbagai kegiatan kampus serta pernah menjabat sebagai sekretaris organisasi, saya terbiasa mengelola administrasi, menyusun laporan, mengatur agenda kegiatan, serta berkoordinasi dengan berbagai pihak. Selain itu, saya juga memiliki pengalaman mengelola kegiatan lapangan dan terbiasa bekerja secara terstruktur maupun dalam tim. Hal yang paling saya sukai dari pengalaman tersebut adalah kesempatan untuk terus belajar hal baru, terutama dalam hal manajemen waktu, komunikasi, dan tanggung jawab. Saya juga menikmati proses bekerja dalam tim karena dapat bertukar ide dan menyelesaikan masalah bersama. Lingkungan yang dinamis membuat saya menjadi lebih adaptif dan mampu bekerja di bawah tekanan. Namun, saya menyadari masih ada hal yang bisa diperbaiki, seperti meningkatkan kepercayaan diri dalam mengambil keputusan besar serta mengasah kemampuan teknis tertentu agar lebih optimal dalam mendukung pekerjaan. Saya terus berupaya untuk belajar dan berkembang melalui pengalaman maupun pelatihan tambahan.
