    As the only polytechnic university in Canada, KPU provides a completely unique educational experience. We combine academic excellence with hands-on, experiential learning such as co-op terms, work experience, and industry partnerships.

  2. 2. Take a campus tour
    Meet one of our student ambassadors and tour our campuses! This is a great way to learn about our student services, classrooms and facilities. Did you know that KPU has a maximum class size of 35 students? You'll get the help and attention you deserve from your instructors.
  3. 3. Learn more about KPU student life
    Take a look at our fitness centre and gym, the dozens of student-run clubs, and other events hosted by the Kwantlen Student Association. Find and meet new people that have the same interests as you do! Can't find what you're interested in? You can start your own club, too!
