Vancouver Island University

On a mountainside overlooking the Salish Sea on the West Coast of Canada is the main VIU campus in Nanaimo. Here you find inspiration all around you. It's a place you'll make real connections — on campus, in community, and with the land.

Student success in the classroom and beyond is at the heart of everything VIU does. The community of support is here for all students. And it offers custom supports for Indigenous students, international students, adult learners, and those who face learning challenges. 

Whether you're looking for the arts, sciences, trades or humanities, VIU has a program for you.
