The University of British Columbia, one of the top universities in the world, encourages global citizenship, advances a just and sustainable society, and supports excellent research to benefit the people of British Columbia, Canada, and the rest of the world.

Research

One of the top research universities in the world, UBC consistently rates highly.

Due to our extensive global connections, we draw researchers of the greatest caliber and get about $600 million in yearly research funding.

It indicates that there are a wide variety of professional choices at UBC; they are not your conventional 9-to-5 jobs. With such diversity, our people must also be distinctive. It's not a cookie-cutter setting where the average works. It needs individuals with passion, endurance, vision, and a spark.

All of these educational institutions are located in Vancouver.
