The University of British Columbia
The University of British Columbia (Canada)
The University of British Columbia was established in 1908
and located in the Canadian province of British Columbia. The University of
British Columbia is a center for research and teaching. It has two main
campuses – the Vancouver campus and the Okanagan campus located in Kelowna. The
Vancouver campus is the larger of the two, accommodating more than 85 percent
of UBC students. In a recent year, 23 percent of students at the Vancouver
campus and around 13 percent at the Okanagan campus were international. Tuition
costs at UBC vary by degree program and are higher for international students.
University housing is guaranteed for first-year UBC undergraduates, and newly
admitted international students who are second-year undergraduates receive
housing priority too. Housing is also available for returning undergraduate and
graduate students.
