At Royal Roads, we understand that environmental leadership is required and we’re proud that our students, faculty, and staff support this direction. Climate change is one of the most critical challenges of our time, and we are focused on initiatives that support campus sustainability. Environmental sustainability is not only intrinsically linked to our teaching and research mandate, it’s a challenge that calls for the kind of interdisciplinary and collaborative problem-solving at which we excel.
One of the things you will notice when you arrive on our campus is that we’re pretty passionate about sustainability. We’ve made a commitment to live and manage our activities in a way that balances social, economic, environmental, and institutional considerations to meet the needs of today without compromising the ability of tomorrow’s generation to meet their own needs.
Royal Road pioneered the blended learning model in Canada and designed something completely different on the post-secondary landscape when the university was established in 1995. We created a unique learning experience through digital delivery that allows students to stay connected to their communities and combined it with an unparalleled natural and historic environment for research and study in Victoria, B.C. Our progressive model of education delivers applied and professional graduate and undergraduate degree programs, Canada’s first applied research doctorate, and exceptional certificate and diploma programs. At Royal Roads, full-time students, working professionals and lifelong learners find opportunities and skills to create positive change in their lives and work, in their communities and on the global stage.
Changemaking and social innovation at Royal Roads begin from our holistic, student-centred approach to flexible admissions and it is inscribed in our university-wide learning and teaching model. We place interdisciplinary discovery at the heart of all our programs, understanding that the complex problems of our time require multiple lenses versus single-solution approaches, and our applied research responds to global, national and community-based problems. Changemaking extends through our culture of mentorship and collaboration to create opportunities for students not only to learn but contribute with purpose and impact.
