Trinity Western's main campus is out in rural Langley. Its Richmond site does something different, putting graduate business and leadership study close to the Canada Line and Vancouver's airport. Most students here take the MBA or the MA in Leadership, in a small teaching building rather than a full campus. TWU is a private Christian university, and that outlook runs through its teaching.

Richmond sits on islands at the mouth of the Fraser River, next to Vancouver International Airport. It has some of the best Chinese food in North America, especially along No. 3 Road and in the night markets in summer.
The Canada Line runs from Richmond to downtown Vancouver in about 25 minutes. Rent is high, as it is everywhere around Vancouver, and many students share apartments.

TWU accepts graduate applications on a rolling basis, but international students should apply six to eight months before their start date to leave time for the study permit.
The Richmond graduate programmes usually start in September and January. Check the programme page for the current start dates.
A Canadian study permit. Start with the letter of acceptance from Trinity Western University and, where required, the provincial attestation letter, then apply to IRCC online. Allow a few months, as processing times vary by country.
The MBA, with its growing-enterprise, international business and non-profit streams, and the MA in Leadership are the main programmes. Entry needs a bachelor's degree, usually some work experience, and IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
TWU offers some graduate awards and bursaries, and a few are open to international students. Ask the Richmond admissions team what applies to your programme.
