Cape Breton University (CBU)는 국내외적으로 주목받고 있는 학교이다. 시드니와 가까운 Nova Scotia라는 곳에 캠퍼스가 있고, 3000명정도의 국내학생과 27개국에서 온 국제학생을 보유하고 있다. 개인맞춤화된 수업으로 유명하다. 최근에는 다양한 학생들의 신체에 맞게 새로운 거주건물과 다이닝홀인 해리스 홀을 지었다.

Cape Breton University (CBU) is an Atlantic Canadian postsecondary education leader, with a growing national and international focus. Located on Canada’s stunning east coast, near Sydney, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton University serves more than 3,000 students from the local area, other parts of Canada and international students from more than 27 countries.

Personalized education is key at Cape Breton University focusing on academic and research excellence, student services, a vibrant campus life and technology tools to support undergraduate education.

A primarily undergraduate university, CBU is deeply involved in community development, providing outstanding applied

research opportunities for students and technical assistance to business, industry and community organizations. As well, the university is known as Atlantic Canada’s leader in Aboriginal postsecondary education and is home to Canada’s only Master of Business Administration in Community Economic Development.

Virtually all Cape Breton University degree, diploma and certificate programs offer a strong transition-to-work component through co-op education, work placements, internships and work-study programs. Agreements and partnerships with other institutions further expand learning and exchange opportunities for students, as do extensive distance education programs.

Cape Breton University values accessibility and a strong campus life experience, featuring facilities that are as important to the community as they are to students: art galleries, a theatre, gymnasium, outdoor stage and courtyard, conference facilities and

library. A strong and active students’ union facilitates many activities, clubs and societies – from ethnic associations to debating, philosophy and music.

Recently, the campus has expanded to meet the needs of its diverse student body. CBU has opened Harriss Hall, a new residence accommodation and dining hall; welcomed the addition of the Cape Breton Health Recreation Complex; and has made a commitment to solving global energy and environmental issues through the Verschuren Centre for Sustainability in Energy and the Environment.

Sydney, Nova Scotia, offers students the best of both worlds. With a population of about 75,000 people, the community has the amenities of a city with the welcoming and supportive atmosphere of a small town. Combined with strong Celtic roots and breathtaking scenery, an education at Cape Breton University provides a multi-faceted experience.
