The University of Toronto is Canada's leading research and teaching university. It has a remarkable history. On March 15, 1827, King's College, the precursor to U of T, was given its royal charter by King George IV. In the nearly two centuries since, University of Toronto has been home to over 9,000 faculty and staff. More than 60,000 graduate and non-graduate students attend the university.
