Studying in Canada despite COVID-19?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
At Vancouver Island University, you can currently study online from the comfort of your own home or from within Canada. Canada has opened its borders to international students studying at certain universities (including VIU) in October 2020. VIU is planning to go back to face-to-face learning in September 2021. Please find current information and updates on studying abroad during COVID-19 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vancouver Island – the home of VIU<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n
The campus of VIU is located in one of the most beautiful regions of the country, in close proximity to forests and wide and endless surfing beaches. A variety of recreational activities are guaranteed year round – the mild climate of the island allows outdoor activities every month of the year. In the coastal town Nanaimo, home of VIU, students will find pretty little shops and cozy caf\u00e9s. Yet, the big city life of the Vancouver metropolis is only a ferry ride away.<\/p>\n
