CUE is a boutique university, small enough that every student is
essential yet large enough for a global outlook. In and out of the
classrooms and lecture halls, you translate what you learn into
extraordinary hands-on experiences. You can sit in the back. But at
CUE, someone will always invite you to the front.
If you are a scientist, you can follow your curiosity into drama. A
business student can graduate with a foundation in history,
philosophy, and Indigenous knowledge. You can learn new
languages and traditions. You can test your ideas with people from
every department and course of study, from around the world. You
can try anything. You can change directions. You can be your best
self.
We are on a WEEK A
