With vibrant campuses in British Columbia’s three largest cities Burnaby, Surrey and Vancouver, SFU is not just shaping minds, they are also shaping communities.

Today, the campus houses the majority of the world-class academic and research infrastructure.

SFU is distinguished by the extraordinary variety of educational and learning opportunities they offer to students both on campus and in the community. As a result, their students graduate with the skills they need to succeed, contribute to the community and fulfill their potential.

The Vancouver campus opened in 1989 to foster connections with the business community and meet the educational demands of working professionals. Known today as the intellectual heart of the city, it encompasses nine sites that include a multi-venue arts and culture space, a centre for dialogue and our graduate school of business.
