Institution overview
The University of British Columbia is a public Canadian university with major campuses in Vancouver and the Okanagan. Established in 1908, it began teaching in 1915. The Okanagan campus is located in Kelowna, and both campus communities contribute to the university's education and research activities. UBC offers undergraduate degrees, master's programmes, professional education and doctoral research. Its subject coverage includes arts, social sciences, business, engineering, computing, science, medicine, education and forestry. The range and organisation of programmes differ between Vancouver and the Okanagan, making campus selection an important part of exploring its provision. The university connects teaching with research and describes innovation and the practical application of ideas as important parts of its mission. Academic departments, libraries, research facilities and student services support different forms of learning. Its campus-life information covers the distinct environments and activities of the two main locations. Applicants can use the university's admissions and academic pages to identify the relevant campus, qualification level and faculty before consulting programme-specific entry requirements and study arrangements.
