WELCOME TO UNIVERSITY CANADA
WEST
 University
Canada West (UCW) has a new vision for university education. As the
first private sector, university established under new British Columbia
legislation, we envision a university where every student succeeds
– in class and in the real world after graduation.
We especially welcome international students. I know
from my own extensive travels and involvement in international education
that Canadian education is held in high esteem world-wide and attractive
for many students. That is why we have no differential fees for foreign
students, and provide special support during their studies. And as
a bonus, you will enjoy living in Victoria, the city of gardens blooming
all year round, and one of the world’s top tourist destinations.
We also believe that the knowledge and skills gained through life’s
challenges and experiences have value. That’s why we provide
“prior learning assessment” opportunities for those who
may not satisfy more traditional university entrance requirements.
We believe that the goal of a successful university
education is a successful life. That’s why our programs are
designed to be focused and practical. They are also based on a three-month
term system, with three terms per year allowing students to complete
an undergraduate degree, with the same number of courses as required
at other universities, in just two and one half years.
Our MBA programs are equally creative, with three options
allowing for completion in one year or two.
Although our approach to university education is new,
it is based on the same stringent standards as found in Canada’s
other universities. Our Authority to grant degrees comes from the
British Columbia Minister of Advanced Education. Our academic programs
are assessed and monitored by the Minister’s Degree Quality
Assessment Board, and we have our own internal programs of course/teaching/degree
assessments, to ensure that they meet rigorous standards of quality
and excellence. Our professors are devoted to teaching and to your
success.
Please browse our website for details, and I look forward
to seeing you at UCW.
Sincerely,
David Strong
President
