Halifax University is one of Kelssek's oldest and most prestigious universities. Located in downtown Breton, it was founded in 1818 by George Dalhousie, the Earl of Halifax. It merged with the Haligonian Technical University in 1997. Founded as a college open to all people regardless of class or creed, it was one of the few secular universities before most Kelssekian universities shed their religious affiliations in the 20th century.

The university is well known for its excellent programs in liberal arts, marine biology, computer science, and law. It is also developing into a centre for medical research.
