University Canada West was founded by Dr. David Strong, an accomplished academic and distinguished scientist who served as President of the University of Victoria for more than a decade. The vision was to create an independent, accessible university with a practical focus and an emphasis on teaching excellence.

Located in Vancouver’s vibrant business district in the downtown core and drawing students from more than 52 countries, the university offers a dynamic learning environment, personal attention, competitive tuition rates and scholarships to recognize academic excellence.

The ideal location in one of the world’s most livable cities improves students’ chances of gaining all-important industry experience, preparing them for successful careers after university. Sony, Microsoft, Amazon and other international corporations all have offices in Vancouver.

Our flexible program delivery allows students to study online or on-campus or choose a combination to further their education. With four semesters per year, motivated students can complete their degrees faster than at many traditional universities.
