THE PATH TO SUCCESS COMES WITH A VIEW.
Your university experience stretches far beyond the classroom. Here, as you gain skills and build friendships that will last a lifetime, you’ll also discover a new home on Cape Breton Island, one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
With stunning landscapes, ocean views and a campus community of students from around the world, Cape Breton University (CBU) offers a unique opportunity to enjoy island life and gain a truly global perspective.
Now, all you have to do is ask yourself one question:
ARE YOU READY FOR THE ADVENTURE?

OPPORTUNITY.
CBU offers the perfect vantage point to create the kind of future you want, in any direction you can imagine.
With the support of a caring community, a growing and diverse campus and the unique perspective that comes with island life, there’s simply nothing standing in your way.
HELLO
WORLD!
Did you know that CBU is home to more than 2,500 international students representing more than 50 countries? That’s about half of CBU’s student population. So, even if you’re travelling from far away, you’ll soon meet lots of people who are making Cape Breton their new home away from home.
DIVERSE CULTURE,
FRIENDLY PEOPLE.
Located in Mi’kma’ki, the unceded territory of the Mi’kmaw people, our island has deep roots in Indigenous cultures. With friendly people, a small, tight-knit campus, and a peaceful pace of life, you’ll feel grounded in the safety and serenity of CBU and our surrounding communities.
