Conducting Your Research

Promoting a Culture of Discovery and Innovation

KPU’s Office of Research Services encourages the exchange of knowledge and expertise between academia and public/private partners that are mutually beneficial. Collaborative partnerships enable students and faculty to work on projects of interest with industry and community, while exploring real-world solutions. Such partnerships promote and expand the mobilization and transfer of knowledge to the benefit of the broader community, and provide students with job relevant skills.

Strategic Research Areas

KPU has identified Healthy Communities, Social Inclusion, Sustainable Development, Technological Transformation, Design Solutions, and Work and Learning as six inter-dependent and inter-disciplinary themes to develop and maintain excellence.

We at Kwantlen Polytechnic University respectfully acknowledge that we live, work and study in a region that overlaps with the unceded traditional and ancestral First Nations territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), qi̓  cə̓  y̓ (Katzie), SEMYOME (Semiahmoo), scə̓  waθən (Tsawwassen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and kwikwəƛ̓ə̓  m (Kwikwetlem); and with the lands of the qw̓  ɑ:nƛ̓ə̓  n̓ (Kwantlen First Nation), which gifted its name to this university.
