ABOUT US

University Canada West (UCW) is a university with a clear vision - to be a leading, respected independent university in Canada and abroad, known for innovation and effectiveness in preparing motivated students for professional-level careers and societal leadership.

UCW's learning environment is dynamic and practical. Our classes are small, so you'll always know your classmates and benefit from the one-to-one time you need with your professors. Our professors have first-hand industry experience so they don't just repeat textbook content - they use their years of experience to equip you with the knowledge and skill set needed to succeed in a competitive marketplace.

We focus on relevant learning at UCW. Content can become dated quickly, especially in the fast-moving environments on which our programs focus. That's why we design our programs to meet the needs of the market, ensuring you'll receive the most current education possible.

We also collaborate with digital leaders such as Salesforce (Trailhead), Tableau and IBM to add relevant digital components to our courses. This aligns with our digital vision and keeps you updated with upcoming technological trends.
