The school environment and teaching situation of the University of British Columbia in Canada

There are two public universities in the Vancouver area. The University of British Columbia was founded in 1908 and is one of the five best universities in Canada. Simon Friser University was established in 1963 and is the major university in British Columbia. The main colleges are: British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), the best engineering college in British Columbia, Langara College, Capilango College, Douglas College and Vancouver Community College (VCC), etc., while the Vancouver School Board (VSB) is responsible for primary and secondary education.

The following 86 introduces the school environment and teaching situation of the University of British Columbia (UBC, University of British Columbia):

Introduction

University of British Columbia (University of British Columbia) of British Columbia (UBC for short, also known as the University of British Columbia), founded in 1908, formerly known as McGill University College of British Columbia or McGill University College of British Columbia (McGill University College of British Columbia), which is the oldest in British Columbia. The university became the independent University of British Columbia in 1915, forming Canada's Ivy League with McGill University, the University of Toronto and Queen's University. It is one of the founding members of Universitas 21 (an international association of universities) and enjoys an international reputation for both teaching and research. The school started as a research cooperative institution and later gradually developed into a comprehensive university. Over the past 100 years, UBC has developed into a well-known institution of higher learning in Canada and one of the world's leading comprehensive universities. Its excellent academic standards and wide range of professional settings have made it a top university that many students aspire to. In the number of companies established based on scientific research results in the entire North America, UBC ranks third, second only to MIT and Stanford University. UBC University has been ranked second among doctoral universities in Canada by the authoritative magazine "Maclean's Magazine" for many years in a row. The school is one of the most difficult universities in Canada to apply to. Applicants must not only have excellent academic results but also have excellent extracurricular activities such as leadership experience, competition awards, etc. In order to select top talents, nearly 30% of students are eliminated from different departments every year.

Campus

The University of British Columbia has two main campuses. One is the Vancouver campus, which is located on the outskirts of Vancouver, the third largest city in Canada. It is only a 30-minute drive from Vancouver. It covers an area of ??400 hectares. It has a pleasant climate, a long coastline, beautiful oceans and beaches, making it a must-see for tourists. In addition, the Vancouver campus has many of the city's most attractive academic and recreational facilities, including the Anthropology Museum, the Performing Arts Center, the famous UBC Botanical Garden and the Botanical Research Center, etc. The Vancouver campus is UBC's largest campus, with more than 45,000 students.

The other campus is the Okanagan campus, which opened in September 2005. It is a unique small university campus. The campus has approximately 5,325 students, more than 700 faculty and staff, and 7 departments.

In addition, the University of British Columbia has two campuses, Robson Square and Great Northern Way.

Teaching advantages

The school offers a wide range of majors and courses, and many subjects such as biology are among the best in Canada and even the world. All engineering majors are concentrated in the School of Applied Sciences. The depth of student courses is often not as good as that of prestigious eastern universities such as McGill University, but the number of courses required for graduation is generally greater, which is more conducive for students to choose a professional direction that suits them.

British Columbia is Canada's industrial and commercial center and one of the world's largest producers of timber, energy, minerals and gold. At the same time, British Columbia is particularly prominent in the development of emerging industries, such as being the world's top clean energy research and development base, a video game center, and one of the world's leading digital media and film industry development centers. UBC is the best choice for studying business. Its famous Sauder Business School has a large number of outstanding students entering top investment banks, consulting companies, accounting firms, etc. in Canada and the world every year. At the same time, UBC is also the cradle of entrepreneurs. Many college students or graduates have started their own businesses and achieved good results. For example, Brian Wong, a graduate of the 11th class, surpassed Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook founder Zuckerberg. He became the youngest entrepreneur in the world to receive venture capital funding. Therefore, UBC, which has both a superior geographical location and a first-class academic environment, has attracted a large number of top students from Canada and around the world to apply.

In order to meet the challenges of the new century, the University of British Columbia has established high student training goals and is determined to cultivate global citizens who can adapt to different cultures around the world, analyze and solve complex problems, and process and utilize large amounts of information. To this end, the school is forging ahead in education and constantly improving the academic environment of the school. The nearly century-old school is still in a state of vigorous development.

Professional courses

As one of Canada’s three top research universities, it provides a variety of syllabuses (courses) and learning opportunities, and allows students to freely choose courses to accommodate various scholars. . UBC regularly invites internationally renowned scholars and scientists to the school to give academic reports, where students can learn about current academic trends. The school has more than 70 majors, including agricultural economics, zoology, forest resource management, computer science, nutrition, petroleum exploration engineering, geography, art, English, history, and German studies, and can award bachelor's, double bachelor's, master's and other majors. Ph.D. Teacher training for secondary and special education and pre-service training in law, medicine and dentistry are also part of the school's educational content.

Campus

The scientific research of the University of British Columbia is excellent. UBC*** has set up four federally funded research centers, focusing on bacterial pathology, protein engineering, disease genetics and International development issues. For many years, the University of British Columbia has been the only school in the vast western region that can compete with many famous schools in Ontario and Quebec. In fact, more than 60% of all types of research in British Columbia are conducted on the University of British Columbia campus. Because of this advantage, the school is able to provide students with a large number of practical opportunities, especially opportunities to combine theoretical learning with practical research. The school offers a wide range of majors and courses. Many subjects such as biology are among the best in Canada and even the world. All engineering majors are concentrated in the School of Applied Science. ?Research?is mainstream at UBC.

On the UBC campus, there are restaurants, snack bars, bars, copy centers, gift shops, bowling alleys, information desks, photography studios, music rooms and women's centers, etc., making life very convenient. In addition, there is an International Student Center (International House) on campus, which can provide various services to overseas students.

UBC’s Nitobe Botanical Garden is famous throughout the country; the Anthropology Museum here is one of the top ten tourist attractions in Vancouver, and has the best collection of arts and crafts from the indigenous cultures of the northwest of the entire North American continent. UBC also has a marine biological research station, two research farms, and one of the world's largest subatomic cyclotrons. The facilities here are sufficient to meet students' research challenges.
