The University of
British Columbia, established in 1908, educates a
student population of 50,000 on major campuses in
two cities and holds an international reputation for
excellence in advanced research and learning.
The largest campus is
30 minutes from the heart of downtown Vancouver, a
spectacular campus that is a 'must-see' for any
visitor to the city -- where snow-capped mountains
meet ocean, and breathtaking vistas greet you around
every corner.
The Vancouver campus
boasts some of the city's best attractions and
recreation facilities, including the
Museum of
Anthropology, the
Chan Centre for
the Performing Arts , the
UBC
Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research ,
and endless opportunities to explore forested trails
in the adjoining 763-hectare
Pacific Spirit Regional Park.
