University of British Columbia

The University of British Columbia is a global centre for teaching, learning and research, consistently ranked among the top public universities in the world. UBC embraces innovation and transforms ideas into action. Since 1915, UBC has been opening doors of opportunity for people with the curiosity, drive and vision to shape a better world.
UBC’s two main campuses are situated in Vancouver and in Kelowna in the Okanagan Valley. The Vancouver campus is located just 30 minutes from downtown in a spectacular natural setting, while the Okanagan campus is an intimate learning community in British Columbia’s interior. 
With over $900 million in annual research funding across more than 10,000 active projects, and nearly 300 companies spun out of UBC research, the university translates ideas into real-world impact at remarkable scale. Students engage in hands-on, interdisciplinary learning designed to develop the critical thinkers and innovators the world needs. An undergraduate experiential learning participation rate of 84% reflects a community deeply committed to education beyond the classroom.
UBC's 435,000 alumni across 145 countries — among them Nobel laureates, three Canadian prime ministers and 75 Rhodes Scholars — speak to the broad reach and influence of a UBC education. 
UBC is committed to remaining at the forefront of global higher education. The university’s vision for 2050 is clear: to inspire people, ideas and actions for a better world through teaching, learning and research.
