75,000 ALUMNI HAVE CALLED KPU HOME OVER

20,000 STUDENTS ANNUALLY KPU WELCOMES OVER

Welcome You All m̓i ce:pkʷətxʷiləm

We at Kwantlen Polytechnic University respectfully acknowledge that we live, work, and study in a region that overlaps with the unceded traditional and ancestral First Nations territories of the xʷməθkʷəyəm (Musqueam), qi cə y (Katzie), SEMYOME (Semiahmoo), scə waθən (Tsawwassen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and kwikwəƛə m (Kwikwetlem), and with the lands of the qw ɑ:nƛ ə n (Kwantlen) First Nation peoples. We thank them for sharing their land and resources with us in friendship and peace and honour our name, which the Kwantlen First Nation has graciously shared with us. Kwantlen means “tireless runner” and we strive to always be tireless in our pursuit of knowledge and understanding. As part of our ongoing journey toward reconciliation, we remain committed to listening, learning, and working collaboratively to address the impacts of colonialism and support meaningful change.

Since 2015, KPU has been honoured to have Lekeyten as Elder-in-Residence. With warmth, wisdom, and a great sense of humour, he welcomes all students and inspires with teachings that are both grounding and easy to connect with.

Find Your People

At KPU, community isn’t just a bonus – it’s a key part of the experience.

“After graduating from KPU’s Melville School of Business in 2025 with a BBA in Entrepreneurial Leadership, Mina Keddis credits the peers, instructors, and people who helped shape his journey.

One thing I’ll never forget is the people. Their support and guidance haven’t just helped me excel in my degree and really learn – they’ve also helped me in my personal life to figure out who I am… and where I want to be in the future.

Find Your Path

Not sure if you meet the English requirements?

Meet Destiny Lang, a Fashion Design student at KPU’s Wilson School of Design, who found a sense of belonging in a supportive group of peers.

Through KPU, I got to connect with a group of driven, down-to-earth, creative, and kind critical thinkers. We uplift each other and advocate for our learning needs together. I cannot imagine experiencing this level of community-building anywhere else.

KPU has you covered. We offer testing options to check your current English level and help you get where you need to be. If you don’t meet the requirement, you can upgrade your skills and smoothly transition into undergraduate studies.
