Camosun College respectfully acknowledges that our campuses are situated on the territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Kosapsum) and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We honour their knowledge and welcome to all students who seek education here.
Discover the Camosun Advantage
Students from around the globe choose Camosun for the exceptional education and student experience in one of the world's most beautiful cities.
Each year Camosun welcomes over 1,000 Indigenous students from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit groups, and over 2,200 international students from more than 70 countries.
The college welcomed its first students in 1971 and adopted the name “Camosun”, a local Lekwungen (Songhees) First Nation name meaning “where different waters meet and are transformed.” Today, Camosun College offers over 160 innovative programs to help meet the needs of students and communities in Victoria and beyond.
Wide range of programs
Our education offerings include university transfer and applied degree programs; career and trades training; upgrading and preparatory programs; and professional studies and industry training. Camosun College has earned an outstanding reputation for teaching excellence—we’re proud of our faculty, staff and students, and the fact that we provide one of Canada’s best learning experiences.
We’re large enough to provide great services and facilities for a vibrant campus environment on beautiful Vancouver Island, yet small enough to offer students the individual support, care and attention not found in most post-secondary institutions.
