The University of Toronto is a public research university in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located on the grounds that surround Queen's Park.

As a collegiate university, it comprises eleven colleges each with substantial autonomy on financial and institutional affairs and significant differences in character and history. The university also operates two suburban campuses located in Scarborough and Mississauga. The University of Toronto offers over 700 undergraduate and 200 graduate programs.
