Your Introduction to Yorkville University

Yorkville University gives students the flexibility to study when and how they want. The university is a pioneer in online learning and has been delivering courses in that format since it first opened its doors in 2004. Students, regardless of whether they study online or in-person, have the option to study year-round without any enforced breaks. This allows students to accelerate their studies and graduate faster—in as little as two and a half years—saving them not only time but also a considerable amount of money.

Studying at Yorkville University

Regardless of what a student decides to study, Yorkville’s goal is always the same: to engage students. With an average class size of 20 (and many classes having as few as 10 students), students get personalized attention from instructors who are leaders in their field.

Yorkville offers an array of dynamic career-focused undergraduate programs, developed with input from leading employers, across the following areas:

  • Business Administration
  • Energy Management
  • Interior Design
  • Management Accounting
  • Project Management 
  • Supply Chain Management

The university’s student-centred approach to learning means that students have the opportunity to complete the majority of their work, including learning exercises and other activities, right in the classroom. This frees up time outside of class for other things, such as working part-time or raising a family.

Getting to Know Toronto and Vancouver

There’s lots of reasons why international students choose to study in Toronto and Vancouver. Toronto ranked an impressive #13 in the world on the 2022 QS Best Student Cities Ranking, and Vancouver arrived at #18 on the same list.

Here are a few key reasons why Toronto and Vancouver are such incredible study abroad destinations. Both are multicultural and inclusive cities, where international students will immediately feel welcome. The BBC named Toronto the most multicultural city in the world, and Vancouver has strong cultural ties to the Asia-Pacific region. Both offer all the advantages that come with big city living, such as world-class shopping, sports teams, dining, entertainment, culture, and more.

Yorkville’s Toronto campus is located in the city’s downtown, and the Vancouver campus is in New Westminster. New Westminster is a short journey by SkyTrain (light rail) from downtown Vancouver, offering students the best of both worlds.

Many international students choose Canada in part due to its Post-Graduation Work Permit program (PGWP). PGWP allows eligible international students to live and work in Canada for up to three years after graduating. Prospective students will be pleased to know that the majority of Yorkville University’s programs are eligible for this opportunity.
