Royal Roads University is committed to appreciating and celebrating the diversity of students, faculty and staff.
“I came to Royal Roads University to complete the BA in Professional Communication with the goal of improving my communication skills, gaining the ability to lead the next generation of professionals, and expanding my worldview.
Here no one is going to judge you or crush you down for your opinions; instead, the focus is on constructive criticism and supporting one another.
You could say my experience
at RRU has been both rewarding and surprising – certainly not anything you could get from
a textbook.”
Yusuf Mohammed
BA in Professional Communication
We are most proud of the work of our students, who often apply their research to promote value in their own professional organizations and do so with impressive records of success.

OUR Place
Long before that modern history, this was a place of gathering for the people of Coast Salish heritage. It was called
Teechamitsa–a place devoted to creating a common good through the growing and gathering of herbs and medicine. It’s a place to re ect on change, community needs and aspirations—a place of learning.
With the completion of Sneq’wa e’lan (Blue Heron House), we are working to honour this traditional gathering place by strengthening our relations with neighbouring First Nations. Our goal is to partner with First Nations and Indigenous communities, locally and globally, to create opportunities to connect our faculty and students with our Indigenous alumni and strengthen our community of learning.
