Overview
Established in 1995, Royal Roads University is an applied research university that offers courses in management, social and applied sciences and general studies. Around 20% of the student population is international.
When Royal Roads consider an application they look at more than formative education and qualifications. They also look at earned experience and other achievements, meaning students who can display a passion and commitment to succeeding will go far.
Students can choose from 10 undergraduate courses and 24 graduate programs that the University offers. Aside from undergraduate and graduate programs, the University also offers graduate diplomas and doctoral degrees. A CTET (Centre for Teaching and Educational Technologies) has been established to develop courses and learning technologies for students. Approximately 70% of the students studying in blended and online programs work while learning.
