At Royal Roads University, your service matters — and so does what comes next.
For more than 25 years, we’ve proudly supported Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members, veterans, and families by offering flexible, practical, and respected education options.
Whether you’re preparing for promotion, planning for life after service, managing a medical release, or simply looking to grow, we’re here to support you — professionally, personally, and wherever you’re posted.
Why Military Members Choose RRU
Learn. Lead. Serve. Grow.
Our blended learning model — mostly online, with short, focused residencies on campus — was built for the realities of CAF life. You can earn a recognized degree, diploma, or certificate while balancing service, training schedules, deployments, and family commitments.
Flexible Pathways & Leave Policies
Turn your military training, education, and experience into academic credit. If you’re deployed or relocated, you won’t lose your progress. Our military leave policy lets you pick up right where you left off.
Practical, Career-Focused Programs
Choose programs in leadership, communication, business, environmental practice, humanitarian and justice studies, and more. You can also complete short, focused graduate diplomas (1 year) or certificates (6 months) in project management, change management, human resources, executive coaching, digital transformation, and other in-demand fields. Everything you learn can be immediately applied to your current role or next career.
A Connected Community
Join a national network of serving members, veterans, public service professionals, and civilians. You’ll learn with people who understand teamwork, discipline, and commitment.
Shared Values
Collaboration. Courage. Service. These values drive the CAF — and they guide how we teach, support, and build community at RRU.
