University Highlights

Royal Roads University is a fully accredited Canadian public university with a distinct mandate to provide applied and professional programs that are solution oriented and real-world focused, relevant to the 21st Century. Our collaborative learning and teaching approach focuses on preparing students with the knowledge, skills and competencies required to develop solutions to today's complex problems.

 

Our Beautiful Location - Oceanfront, green, old growth forest with hiking trails, walking paths, gardens, and more. At the centre of our campus, you will find historic Hatley Castle. It is often used for lectures and meetings, but you may recognize it as a filming location from popular TV shows and movies such as X-Men, Smallville, and Deadpool.

Experiential Learning - We're known for action-oriented learning in an innovative and close-knit environment. Ranked as a top public University in Canada for Active and Collaborative Learning, you'll learn by doing through field trips, guest speakers, study abroad, internships and more!

Social Innovation and Leadership - Designated as a Ashoka U Changemaker Campus, we're committed to creating solutions for a sustainable, just and healthy society both locally and globally.

Personal and Professional Growth - Our mission is to immerse students in a learning context that facilitates personal and professional transformation and allows you to succeed in a global workplace. Our cohort model features group-based course work, providing a resource of like-minded peers for you to share, challenge and grow with throughout your program.

Career-Focused - Our programs have been created with input from industry leaders. This means that everything you study will have a practical, relevant application in the world of work. You will learn from professors who are experts in their fields and passionate about teaching. To prepare you for career success, we will help you secure an internship where you can put classroom theory into practice. Two years after graduation, RRU alumni are more likely to have higher incomes in jobs related to their fields than the average university graduate.
