Founded on Canada's western frontier almost a century ago, the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, has evolved into a global research centre and an intellectual home for some of the world's leading scholars, writers, inventors and scientists. Throughout UBC's history, a passion for discovery has thrived here. It's a spirit galvanized by the university's natural environment, a backdrop of Pacific waves, rugged mountains, and 1800 acres of towering evergreen forest. Located on the edge of the Pacific, students live and study in an extraordinary environment where learning has no limits. Vancouver is a safe and beautiful city, consistently rated one of the best places to live in the world. Located in the southwestern corner of British Columbia, it is just 40km from the US border. The campus is a 20 minute drive from downtown Vancouver. With a population of over two million, Vancouver has a temperate year-round climate with warm breezy summers and mild winters; snow is rare.
