Welcome to VIU Cowichan
VIU’s newest campus offers a broad range of programs and student services in a beautiful and modern LEED Gold Certified facility and a few minutes’ drive away, at the Cowichan Trades Centre. In the heart of Duncan, on the traditional territory of Quw'utsun First Nation, Cowichan Campus is steps from restaurants, shopping and services. Join in outdoor recreation and cultural events, enjoy the bounty of the area's farmlands at farmers’ markets, and arrive at lakes and ocean access in minutes.
Campus Tour
Although classes and services will be delivered remotely this fall, we've been getting lots of requests from new (and future) students who want to see some kind of tour of the Cowichan campus. In this video, we will take you on a quick tour of the Vancouver Island University Cowichan campus in Duncan, British Columbia. If you want to learn more about VIU, you can reach out to us at connect@viu.ca.
