Located in the beautiful Fraser Valley just east of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is a fully accredited, public university that enrolls approximately 15,000 students per year. UFV has campuses and locations in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, and Hope, and a growing presence in Chandigarh, India.Abbotsford is a one-hour drive from Vancouver, British Columbia, and near the US (Washington State) border. After Toronto and Vancouver, it is Canada's third most culturally diversified region. With its mild weather, thriving city center, and breathtaking scenery, Abbotsford provides an exceptional quality of life. It is the perfect place to live and study.

UFV is large enough to provide variety, yet small enough to allow you to get to know your professors and learn in a hands-on setting. You are a member of a friendly campus community at UFV. While cheering on the Cascades, attending a cultural event or discussion, or joining a student-led organization or association, there are several opportunities to meet new people.

With the Fraser Valley as the backdrop for your education experience, countless opportunities are available to enjoy the great outdoors. Browse trendy shops, sample farm-to-table fare, ski powder-dusted peaks, or even hike to a hot spring. You're also only an hour from Vancouver, which boasts towering mountains and a bustling seaside environment.

Besides, you can travel and learn with the Study Abroad program, spending a few weeks or even a semester at one of our partner institutions in Eastern and Central Asia, Australia, Europe, or the Middle East. UFV offers scholarship opportunities up to $5,000 for eligible Study Abroad opportunities.
