About University

FIC operates as a private institution in partnership with Simon Fraser University. Courses offered at FIC are developed in collaboration with SFU faculties and departments, ensuring a rigorous approach to course content and academic standards.
During the initial and preliminary discussions at SFU, the FIC proposal (then called IBT) generated much controversy. FIC is operated by Navitas Limited, a publicly listed Australian education company (formally International Business and Technology Education Ltd.).
FIC currently has over 1,300 students. FIC students come from over 35 countries/regions.
