The University of Regina, a public research institution in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, was established in 1911 as a private high school. It became a degree-granting institution in 1961 and gained autonomy in 1974. With over 15,000 students, the university emphasizes experiential learning, offering internships, professional placements, practicums, cooperative education placements, and the UR Guarantee Programme. Collaborations with provincial crown corporations, government departments, and private corporations have helped connect students with valuable work experience and post-study employment opportunities.
