The University of Regina is a public university located in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Founded in 1911[5] as a private denominational high school of the Methodist Church of Canada,[6] it began an association with the University of Saskatchewan as a junior college in 1925,[7] and was disaffiliated by the Church and fully ceded to the university in 1934; in 1961 it attained degree-granting status as the Regina Campus of the University of Saskatchewan. It became an autonomous university in 1974.[8][9] The University of Regina has an enrolment of over 15,000 full and part-time students.[3] The university's student newspaper, The Carillon, is a member of CUP.

The University of Regina is a research university reputed for having a focus on experiential learning[10] and offers internships, professional placements and practicums in addition to cooperative education placements in 41 programs.[11] In 2009 the University of Regina launched the UR Guarantee Program, a program guaranteeing participating students a successful career launch after graduation by supplementing education with experience to achieve specific educational, career and life goals. Partnership agreements with provincial crown corporations, government departments and private corporations have helped the University of Regina both place students in work experience opportunities and help gain employment post-study.
