Connecting leaders. Building capacity. Driving change.

Emily Carr University of Art + Design

Emily Carr University of Art + Design (ECU) is where creativity meets practice. As Canada’s leading art and design university, ECU offers hands-on, practice-based learning that equips students to experiment, take risks and drive innovation.

Since 1925, ECU has championed bold ideas and emerging talent through a close-knit, interdisciplinary environment that connects students with award-winning faculty, cutting-edge facilities, studio spaces and real-world opportunities. Based in Vancouver, ECU serves more than 2,400 undergraduate and graduate students, with thousands more engaged through continuing studies.

As we celebrate a century of creative leadership, we continue to ask what art and design can make possible. 100 years in the making, we are shaping what comes next.
