In the heartland of Canada, Simon Fraser University (SFU) proudly stands as one of the leading academic institutions, since its inception in 1965. Nestled among the serene landscapes of British Columbia, the main campus is snuggled cozily in Burnaby, sharing its borders with the vibrant City of Vancouver. Apart from this, SFU possesses two other campuses. One is stationed ahead of Fraser River's southern flank and to the north of the international boundary separating Canada and the United States, in Surrey. The other one is in the heart of the bustling western Canadian city, Vancouver.
SFU's robust academic framework is renowned globally, offering students a diverse portfolio of bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees across eight major departments. These sectors include Applied Science, the vibrant arena of Arts and Social Sciences, Beedie School of Business, the creative space of Communication, Education, the thrust areas of Environment, Art, and Technology, Health Sciences, and the domain of pure Science. The university, contributing to top-notch research in Canada takes pride in its ever-accelerating research funding, skyrocketing from over $100 million in 2013 to cross $167 million in 2020.
Engaging several nationalities, SFU boasts of a rich tapestry of student backgrounds. International student community at SFU is vibrant, with many Indian students immersing themselves in its stimulating academic and cultural environment. It's not all study at SFU as the thriving student life at the university fosters holistic development, nurturing both their academic pursuits and extracurricular passions.
From the lens of an international student, affordability is the often pressing concern. However, SFU aims to alleviate this issue through scholarships and financial aids for international students. Given the cost of education abroad, this financial support can act as a significant relief to students and their families, thus opening a world of exciting opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute. The university's commitment to easing financial burdens is a testament to its belief that financial obstacles shouldn't hamper the pursuit of knowledge.
