   How it compares

   With 156 universities in Canada, Thompson Rivers University sits in a crowded national system, and its main distinction is the dual-sector research model plus a mix of practical and professional subjects. It will appeal more to students looking for flexible study levels and applied fields than to those focused on a narrowly specialised institution.
