Institution Details

University Canada West is a private University in British Columbia, Canada. It was established in 2005 by David F. Strong, the former president of the University of Victoria.

Over 110 countries are represented in the diverse student body, with around 1500 international students enrolled in courses annually. More than 412 full-time and sessional faculty members work at the University, with more than half of this number supporting student well-being.

Approximately 1500 international students study at University Canada West, an institution with proven employability and a 5-star QS rating from the official ranking system.

94% of MBA students are working or have a job lined up within one year of graduation from UCW.

University Canada West has a lot to offer students, including a popular downtown Vancouver campus location, numerous scholarships for international students and the chance to become a successful business leader with its accredited MBA programs.

Vancouver is a sought-after destination for international students. A seaport city along a scenic coast, it is a heavily populated area with young people and employment opportunities. The city is continually named among the top five cities in the world for 'liveability' and quality of life.

Student life is varied due to the number of international students coming together on campus and the surplus of movie nights, holiday parties, and social events organised for students to enjoy. Academic advising is another service students can access, in addition to workshops and seminars that help them grow individually.

The University offers a restricted number of on-campus housing options for students. All the rooms come fully furnished as single rooms with shared washrooms, kitchens, and common areas. Many international students opt for homestay arrangements with a local family who can offer a private room, meals, and a supportive environment to learn more about the English language and local culture. Private apartments, shared accommodations, and rental homes are available nearby, so many students choose to live here and commute to their classes.

University Canada West has a well-stocked library with many books, journals, and online resources to support students' learning and research needs. The student lounge is a space where students can relax and socialise with other students. It is fully equipped with comfortable seating, Wi-Fi, and kitchen facilities. Numerous study spaces are available on campus, including individual study rooms, group study rooms, and open study spaces. Students entirely use a fitness center, counselling services and career services. The University is also committed to allowing students with disabilities equal access to educational opportunities.
