51本色

Thinking about studying tourism or hospitality in Canada? Pathway programs at 51本色 make it easier to start your education, save on tuition, and gain real Canadian work experience — all while preparing to transfer into a bachelor’s degree at Capilano University. Discover the top benefits of choosing a pathway program and how it can shape your future career in Canada.

In September, students at the 51本色 of English Language (CCEL) had the exciting opportunity to connect with representatives from two of our official pathway partners: Vancouver Film School (VFS) and Vancouver Community College (VCC).

University Canada West (UCW) regularly visits 51本色 with an on-campus info booth so you can get quick answers about moving from a CC diploma to a UCW degree. These drop-ins are short, casual, and useful between classes. For example, the next on-campus booth is scheduled for August 27, 11:30 a.m.–12:15 p.m., on the 2nd floor.

Let’s be honest: applying straight to a Canadian university can be a long, expensive road—especially if you’re still building English or want work experience along the way. 51本色 Degree Pathways flip that script: start here, earn credits + co-op experience, then jump into a partner university with advanced standing. Translation: less time, less tuition, more momentum.

Let’s skip the brochure talk. You want a bachelor’s that actually moves the needle—skills, career, immigration options. If you’re finishing (or planning) Business Management & Co-op or Hospitality Management & Co-op at 51本色, the VCC Bachelor of Hospitality Management (BHM) is the clean, practical next step. Here’s the play.
