Cape Breton University
Why Cape Breton University?
With a global perspective, Cape Breton University is one of Canada’s most ambitious universities.

Cape Breton University is located on the East Coast of Canada in the province of Nova Scotia and is highly ranked in multiple categories. Cape Breton University has one of the highest student satisfaction rates in Canada and has one of the lowest student to staff ratios. Cape Breton is one of the most beautiful locations to live in and has an internationally renowned culture and welcoming multicultural community spirit.
