We’re thrilled that you’re thinking about coming to BCIT for your semester abroad in Vancouver. Vancouver is a world-class city surrounded by mountains and the sea. We have a mild climate that allows you to enjoy a walk downtown, skiing in the mountains, or a day at one of the many beaches nearly anytime of the year.
If you are a student from one of our partner universities, you can study at BCIT as an exchange student. If there is no exchange agreement between BCIT and your home institution, you can apply as a Study Abroad (Free Mover) student instead.
At BCIT, we offer more than 100 programs and over 300 courses in business- and media-related fields. You will be fully immersed in Canadian culture while learning in BCIT’s small classes and applied-learning environment, giving you a life-changing experience.
