President and Vice-Chancellor's
Welcome Message
We live, work and study in a region that overlaps with the unceded traditional and ancestral First Nations territories of the xwməθkwəyə̓m (Musqueam), qi̓cə̓y̓ (Katzie), SEMYOME (Semiahmoo), scə̓waθən (Tsawwassen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt) and kwikwəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem); and with the lands of the qw̓ɑ:nƛ̓ə̓n̓ (Kwantlen) First Nation, which gifted its name to this university.
For over 40 years, KPU has proudly provided students with the skills they need for the jobs they want. Our team is dedicated to ensuring programs provide top-quality, industry relevant, hands-on experiential learning. This greatly enhances a KPU student’s education outcomes and sets a solid foundation for their future success.
As one of Canada’s leading polytechnic universities, KPU’s researchers are focused on real-world problems facing businesses and communities today. Innovation is part of our culture. Research and development at KPU have partnered with hundreds of organizations across a range of industries to independently and rigorously provide analysis and solutions that are critical for the economic and cultural development of society.
I look forward to meeting you at one of our five campuses located here in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Wishing you all the best and hope to see you one day soon.
Dr. Bruce Choy
President and Vice-Chancellor
