KPU proudly offers all learners opportunities to achieve success in a diverse range of programs that blend theory and practice, critical understanding, and social and ethical awareness necessary for good citizenship and rewarding careers.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) is the fourth largest university in the province of British Columbia and serves communities in the South Fraser region and beyond.

Our faculty members have a passion for teaching, a focus on transformative learning, and a commitment to the success of our students. Recruiting and retaining colleagues who reflect our diverse student body—55% of which is South Asian, East Asian, or of mixed ethnic background—is a long-term goal of our department.
