Flexible, collaborative learning, wherever you are.

At Royal Roads University, learning is designed to fit around your life. 

Whether you study online, on campus, or through a blend of both, you’ll be part of an active learning community supported by expert faculty.

Balance school, family and education

Choose how and where you learn, with full-time and part-time options that allow you to keep a healthy balance. Programs range from short credentials to longer degrees, and many can be completed at a pace that works for you.

Courses run regularly and typically last from a few weeks to a few months. Depending on the program and your schedule, you may complete your studies in less than a year or spread them out over several years.

 

Active, team-based learning

Play an active role in your education. Share ideas, question assumptions, and apply what you learn to real situations.

Engage with diverse perspectives and draw on the experiences of others to deepen your understanding.

Cohort learning and professional connections

In many programs, you'll move through your program with a small group of students. Together, you'll build trust, professional relationships, and a diverse network to draw on long after graduation.

Online learning

Take part in live sessions and complete coursework on your own schedule, including recorded presentations, readings, assignments and discussion forums.

Online courses typically run for a few weeks to a few months. Depending on the program and your pace of study, online programs may be completed in less than one year or over several years.

On-campus learning

Immerse yourself in the full campus experience at our Colwood or Langford campuses in British Columbia, Canada, or at RRU Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE. Connect with new people and enjoy the spaces and sights that make RRU so unique.

Blended learning

Combine online learning with short, intensive residencies held on campus or virtually. Depending on the program, you may complete one to three residencies where you'll experience in-depth learning, collaboration and connection on the spectacular RRU campus.
