Learn with the Best

At the heart of Emily Carr University is our people: faculty, lecturers, instructors, technicians, staff and leaders. Together, we support and encourage a diverse community of artists, designers and creative thinkers.

Innovation Grounded in Practice

Our faculty and instructors are leaders in their fields — artists, makers, scholars and innovators shaping today’s cultural landscape. They bring their own research, exhibitions, publications and entrepreneurial ventures into their teaching.

At ECU, education is grounded in practice. We pair critical inquiry with hands-on creativity in ways that respond to local and global contexts. The result: a curriculum that evolves with society and prepares students to engage meaningfully in the world.

Supporting a New Generation

ECU’s expanding leadership in art and design education equips a new generation of learners and makers with the creativity and skills to tackle global challenges.

We create flexible and diverse learning pathways that prepare students with the skills and knowledge to take full advantage of the professional, economic, cultural and creative opportunities available to them.
