Study in Vancouver

Spend a year in Vancouver and immerse yourself in the lifestyle of Canada’s stylish city on the scenic West Coast. British Columbia has the country’s warmest winters and its best ski and snowboard mountains. Vancouver is a major international center and software development, biotechnology, tourism and a vibrant film industry play important roles in the local economy.

EF Vancouver is housed in a fully-renovated heritage building in the city’s downtown, just a short walk to the iconic harbor and lush green forests of Stanley Park. Study in Vancouver long-term and you’ll benefit from being in the heart of a city renowned for its approachability. Focus on your future by adding an internship to your program, or participate in EF’s University Foundation Year to prepare for university in North America.
