Simon Fraser University

Simon Fraser University is a research and learning community in British Columbia, Canada, with campuses in Burnaby, Surrey and Vancouver. Design teaching and research are concentrated in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology, based at the Surrey campus, an interdisciplinary school where technologists, artists, designers and theorists collaborate on interactive media, computational art and the design of inventive technologies.

A degree in Interactive Arts and Technology combines the science of human experience, the analysis of media and culture, the creation of original and experimental works and the implementation of new technologies, training students for a leading role in the conception of new media. Studies run from undergraduate to graduate level, supported by research labs, semester project showcases and micro-credentials.

The wider university is organised in faculties and departments that range from the sciences and health to the arts and business, and the institution presents itself as an engaged university working with communities and partners. In the Maclean’s 2027 rankings it is placed first among Canadian universities of its size.
