Brescia University College is a Catholic liberal arts college for women located in London, Ontario, Canada. Affiliated with the University of Western Ontario, Brescia is the only university-level women's college in Canada. It has approximately 1,100 undergraduate students.
While residence at Brescia is restricted to females, certain courses are offered for students, male or female, from Western's two other affiliated university colleges that do not offer the same courses. As such, it is not uncommon for male students from Huron or King's University College to take courses at Brescia.
Brescia was founded in 1919 as Ursuline College by the Ursulines, who named the college after the Italian city of Brescia where their religious order was founded. It was renamed "Brescia University College" in 1963. Brescia's mascot is a Bee.
