Why transfer to SFU?
Transfer students find success at SFU as they pursue their academic goals, study with innovative and enterprising instructors, expand their career possibilities with new skills and experiential knowledge, and discover a sense of belonging and purpose among an engaged learning community.
"My friend in SFU... told me about what projects they were doing, and I thought, 'Oh, this is what I want to do.' I decided that I wanted to transfer to SFU on the spot."
- Current student in the Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology, Justin Yu
