About

History

CBU traces its roots to 1951 when the “St. Francis Xavier University Sydney Campus”, also referred to as “Xavier Junior College” (XJC), was opened in downtown Sydney as a satellite campus of St. Francis Xavier University. Growth during the 1950s saw several buildings opened on this site.

Education

At Cape Breton University, we push the boundaries of innovation and thought leadership to create a global academic experience and build a sustainable future for our island.

Research

Cape Breton University researchers are addressing important issues in scholarly discourses and debate, as well as problems that concern the general public. The research undertaken at CBU is making a difference—to academics, students, and to the community. The projects CBU researchers participate in are original, world-class and respected among other scholars and the public.

Services

Student services

As a CBU student, we think your experience should be personally and educationally rewarding. That’s why the services we provide address more than your academic challenges—they also tackle the physical, emotional, spiritual and social challenges that can make a difference to the level of success you achieve.

Housing services

Living in residence is a big part of the university experience, and will provide the foundation for so many of the memories you make at CBU. In our residences, students from all over the world come together to discover what it really means to be a Cape Bretoner. From the moment you arrive in your residence, you’re going to feel like you’ve found your home away from home.

We believe that your residence experience should be as enriching and fun as possible. Our residence buildings are always buzzing with activity, and with tons of on-campus societies, there is always something to do! 

ICT services

At Cape Breton University, the IT Services Department delivers technology services and support to faculty, staff and students. From networking through educational support, academic and administrative computing, IT Services endeavours to provide the best possible support to its clients. All classrooms have been equipped with smart classroom technologies. 

Medical services

Cape Breton University recognizes the important relationship between mental and physical health, over-all well being and academic success. As such, CBU is committed to supporting students as they develop the skills to enhance well being and cope with challenges. CBU is also committed to providing access to Health Services to support both on and off campus.

Student Life

Campus life
