As a new member of Canada’s fastest growing private university you will gain one of the best educational experiences the world has to offer. We pride ourselves on being small enough to care about you and your personal goals, and big enough to provide a top-notch education that prepares you for this ever-changing world.

Your time with UCAN will be both challenging and rewarding. Our innovative and accelerated programs are designed to ensure that you develop the in-demand skills that today’s jobs require.

We maintain a commitment to small class sizes and faculty who have a passion for teaching. Learning-coaches and skills-coaches are also available in a friendly and engaging atmosphere of learning, to ensure that you as an individual can succeed. We believe that our approach to learning, i.e. fostering a supportive learning environment, will contribute profoundly to your success.

As the only fully private and independent university established in Canada, we not only have the ability, but the responsibility to be more flexible, responsive, and innovative than any others. We will work with you to create a customized learning program that supports your individual goals, your learning style and a schedule that will work for you. Our methods and curriculum are proven by our graduates, and allow you to graduate in a shorter period of time than you could at any other Canadian university - so that you can get on with the rest of your life.

We know that traditional universities may be great for some people. We also know that they don’t work for everyone. We also know that students can achieve great things in the right setting. That is why we at University Canada West believe that learning is a partnership between our students and our faculty. That is why we’re here. And that’s why you belong here.
