University of Victoria

The university attained degree-granting status in 1963, with its roots going back to 1903, when Victoria College was founded. UVic's shield has three martlets, which are footless heraldic bird-like creatures borrowed from McGill University's crest. The university's Coat of Arms has the phrase 'Let There Be Light" in Hebrew and 'A Multitude of the Wise is the Health of the World' in Latin. The university colours are red, blue, and gold. The UVic Edge is a merging of three components: vibrant learning, vital impact, and an extraordinary academic environment. We foster innovation, discovery, and creativity with these three elements. The Edge advances our efforts in sustainability and healthy communities. The Edge also influences the world with its diverse viewpoints, including those representing Indigenous and International groups. It is the driver of our commitments to social justice, technological progress, and economic prosperity.
