Affiliate University Colleges
Huron University College and King's University College have dedicated campuses located close to the main Western campus. Each offers specialized programs, a unique environment and a smaller campus community. Students can access services and activities at Western and graduate with a Western University degree.
Since 1863, Huron University College has challenged students to be Leaders with Heart. As the founding college of Western University, Huron has remained strategically small to best serve the needs of its students. Its affiliation with Western’s main campus means students can access a broad range of clubs and activities, while benefitting from Huron’s strong professor-to-student ratio.
King's University CollegeFounded in 1954, King’s University College is a Catholic, liberal arts university. King’s students enjoy small classes led by outstanding faculty on a small, beautiful campus while still being part of a comprehensive university. As a Catholic university, King’s emphasizes the value of each individual and the importance of social justice. Students from all faiths and backgrounds are most welcome. Respect for the human person is behind our commitment to diversity, accessibility, social justice and to building the common good.

Land Acknowlegement
Western University is located on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Chonnonton Nations, on lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum.
With this, we respect the longstanding relationships that Indigenous Nations have to this land, as they are the original caretakers. We acknowledge historical and ongoing injustices that Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) endure in Canada, and we accept responsibility as a public institution to contribute toward revealing and correcting miseducation as well as renewing respectful relationships with Indigenous communities through our teaching, research and community service.
