At Fanshawe College we continue to build on our long history of transforming potential into impact of our students, alumni, business partners and the communities we serve. Our focus is on providing pathways to success, an exceptional learning experience and a global outlook to meet student and employer needs.

Fanshawe welcomes students from around the world, connecting them to a future full of possibilities. We offer programs focused on many of our region's most in-demand industries – from the arts, culinary, media and design to business, information technology, health, and human services. Credentials range from one-year preparatory certificates and apprenticeships to micro-credentials, diplomas and four-year honours degrees.

We are a leading provider of skilled trades and apprenticeship training in the Ontario college system, with thousands of students studying in apprenticeship programs each year. The Don Crich Skilled Trades Accelerator, which opened in 2023 at our London Campus, serves as the entry point for prospective students, current students, and employers to learn more about trades and connect with employment opportunities.

We’ve been making impactful investments across our campuses to enhance the student experience. In 2024, Fanshawe opened the doors to Innovation Village, a centre of creativity and collaboration located in the heart of the London Campus. The state-of-the-art space features collaborative workspaces, virtual reality and multimedia labs and cutting-edge equipment aimed at facilitating hands-on learning, creative exploration and complex problem-solving amongst students, faculty, and industry partners.

We believe there are many routes to learning and achieving academic and career success. That’s why Fanshawe is a leader in the provision of articulation agreements and curriculum-delivery partnerships with colleges and universities worldwide. In total, the College supports 600+ pathways, involving 60+ institutions in 10 countries.

Fanshawe also boasts a strong alumni network, with more than 250,000 graduates living and working across Canada and around the world, contributing in countless ways to our global community.

We change lives at Fanshawe. We invite you to learn more about the Fanshawe experience by exploring our website, touring our campuses and meeting our vibrant students, staff, and faculty.
