The University of British Columbia is one of the leading Canadian Universities. With more than 45,000 students and new infrastructure dedicated to the physical and health sciences, UBC is becoming a real University Town.
A new satellite campus in BC's interior (UBC Okanagan) began operations in 2006 and it now has 3,500 undergraduate and graduate students.
The current strategic planning (Trek 2010) has resulted in new academic exchanges with foreign institutions, and greatly increased international student enrolment.
The principles that inform all aspects of learning and research at UBC include: active engagement in civil society, the pursuit of sustainability in its social as well as its environmental forms, and commitment to global citizenship.
