With close to $15 million in annual research funding for more than 700 research projects, UBC’s Okanagan campus in Kelowna is a hub of innovation and learning. Unique campus-city partnerships and small class sizes help you plug into a close-knit community of educators, emerging scholars, and entrepreneurs. Life on UBC’s Okanagan campus is shaped by Kelowna’s thriving economy and the natural beauty of the Okanagan Valley. Immerse yourself in the modern city centre, or enjoy year-round escapes to one of the region’s 300 trails or 250 lakes.

UBC’s Okanagan campus is situated within the territory of the Okanagan Nation, whose spirit of stewardship is maintained in UBC’s respect for sustainability and the land.

JUAN DANIEL LEANO BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA PSYCHOLOGY (MINOR IN HEALTH AND SOCIETY)

“I applied and was accepted to other universities. But when I received my acceptance letter from UBC, my gut told me that’s where I had to be. I’ve always enjoyed living in big cities, so the Vancouver campus was an easy choice for me.”

Start with a tour you.ubc.ca/vancouvertour * Mercer 2016 Quality of Living Rankings

Surrounded by temperate rainforest, majestic coastal mountains, and the Pacific Ocean, UBC’s Vancouver campus is just 20 minutes from Vancouver’s downtown core. That means you can bike in one of the largest urban parks in North America, wander through one of 125 galleries and museums, and sample international cuisine – all in the same day, without leaving the city. Given Vancouver’s vibrant culture, dynamic economy, and favourable climate, it’s easy to see why this Olympic city is consistently rated one of the best places to live in the world.*

UBC’s Vancouver campus is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam people. For generations, this territory has been a place of teaching and learning for Musqueam people – a tradition that continues to this day.

Stand shoulder to shoulder with other new students at orientation, cheer on the Heat or Thunderbirds in a championship game, or join in a spontaneous singalong on campus. The people you meet and experiences you have will shape your time at UBC and beyond.

RESIDENCE

Living in residence is a great way to meet new friends, take advantage of campus services, and fully immerse yourself in the UBC experience. Living off campus? Find a home away from home with the UBC Collegia program.

SPORTS AND RECREATION

Join a recreational team, sign up for a fitness or dance class, or don the school colours and cheer on UBC athletes.

SERVICES

UBC is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for living and learning. If you have questions or need support, there are people who can help.

CLUBS

Choose your own adventure from 350+ student-run clubs and course unions. If the club you have in mind doesn’t exist, gather a few friends and start it!

ORIENTATIONS

Participate in some of Canada’s largest university orientation events run by students, faculty, and staff. Explore campus, learn about your academic community, and celebrate the start of the school year.

EVENTS

Celebrate global fashion and diversity at Rejoice, an intercultural fashion show, or race in Storm the Wall, the largest intramural event in North America. There’s an event for every occasion on both campuses.

CULTURE

Find students from around the world in spaces like the International Collegium on UBC’s Okanagan campus, or the International House and the Global Lounge on UBC’s Vancouver campus. If you are an Aboriginal student looking to connect with others, or you would like to learn more about First Nations, Métis, or Inuit peoples, visit the Aboriginal Centre on UBC’s Okanagan campus or the Longhouse on UBC’s Vancouver campus.

“I went to UBC to get the performance skills I needed to perform the music I wanted to create.”

CRIS DERKSENEDMONTON, CANADACELLIST AND COMPOSER, BMUS ’07

“I’m an Aboriginal, classically trained electro cellist. UBC taught me how to practise and manage day-to-day performance life. It also taught me that I didn’t want a typical career in the classical musical world; I wanted to choose my own musical path.”

ON CHOOSING UBC

“The calibre of playing is high, the weather is good, and the orchestra rehearses in the beautiful Chan Centre for the Performing Arts – all wins in my books.”

MENTORSHIP

“Dr. Bob (Dr. Robert Pritchard) is kind of amazing. He thinks way outside the box – it’s hard not to love and respect him.”

FROM GRADUATION TO THE WORLD STAGE

“I performed my grad recital and then flew to Spain that week to perform with Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq.”

JUNO NOMINATION

“I knew I was creating a gem when I composed my third studio album, Orchestral Powwow. ‘Aboriginal’ music hasn’t really been showcased in the classical world, particularly with a female Aboriginal composer. We are rare entities in classical music.”

CHOOSE YOUR PROGRAM AND CAMPUS

Explore UBC’s degree program options ahead of time. When you complete your application, you will have the opportunity to select your first and second choice of program. The programs you choose can be in different faculties and on different campuses. Your second choice will only be considered if you are unsuccessful in your first choice. However, if your first and second choices are on different campuses, both choices will be evaluated.

MAKE SURE YOU MEET THE REQUIREMENTS
