British Columbia Institute of Technology - BCIT
British Columbia Institute of Technology builds pathways for career success with full-time and part-time studies leading to certificates, diplomas and applied bachelor's degrees. Technological innovation demands higher levels of applied knowledge. BCIT is developing applied master's degrees for several disciplines. Their dedicated resources for applied research support our extensive linkages with business and industry. At British Columbia Institute of Technology students have access to unique facilities such as a 300,000 square-foot state-of-the-art Aerospace Technology Campus, a full-equipped radio and television studio and Western Canada's only Marine Engine Room Simulator.
BCIT students say that their workload is heavier than at a traditional university, but the benefits upon graduation are well worth their efforts. BCIT students share a desire to gain a competitive edge in the job market. Successful students have usually spent some time thinking about their future careers before they apply. They are focused on their goals, and are ready to commit to an intense and demanding program of study that will help them achieve those dreams. Because employers need staff who can work well in teams, most project work is completed in groups. Unless students are completing the Liberal Studies component of their degree completion program, they will not spend a lot of time writing essays. British Columbia Institute of Technology students also learn valuable practical skills, such as being able to give presentations with confidence.
