The following 86 introduces the running environment and teaching situation of the University of British Columbia (UBC):
brief introduction
University of British Columbia (UBC? University of British Columbia? ), founded in 1908, formerly known as McGill University College in British Columbia or McGill University College in British Columbia, is the oldest university in British Columbia. It became an independent university in British Columbia on 19 15, and formed an Ivy League with McGill University, University of Toronto and Queen's University in Canada. As one of the founding members of Universitas 2 1 (International Association of Universities), it enjoys an international reputation in teaching and scientific research. The school was originally a scientific research cooperation institution, and later it gradually developed into a comprehensive university. During the period of 100, UBC has developed into a famous institution of higher learning in Canada and one of the world-famous comprehensive universities. Its excellent academic level and extensive professional settings make it a top university that many students yearn for. UBC University ranks third in the number of companies established based on scientific research achievements in North America, second only to MIT and Stanford University. UBC University has been ranked second in the comprehensive ranking of doctoral universities in the authoritative Canadian magazine McLean Magazine for many years. This school is one of the most difficult universities in Canada to apply for. Students who apply for it need not only excellent academic performance, but also excellent extracurricular activities such as leadership experience and competition awards. In order to select top talents, nearly 30% students are eliminated by different departments every year.
campus
The University of British Columbia has two main campuses. One is Vancouver Campus, which is located in the suburb of Vancouver, the third largest city in Canada, only 30 minutes' drive from Vancouver, and the campus covers an area of 400 hectares. The climate here is pleasant, the coastline is long, and the ocean and beaches are beautiful. It is a must-see for tourists. In addition, the Vancouver campus also has many of the most attractive academic and entertainment facilities in the city, including the Anthropology Museum, the Performing Arts Center, the famous UBC Botanical Garden and the Plant Research Center. Vancouver campus is the largest campus of UBC, with more than 45,000 students.

In addition, the University of British Columbia has two campuses, Robson Square and Dabei Road.
Teaching advantage
The school offers a wide range of majors and courses, and many disciplines such as biology are first-class in Canada and even in the world. All engineering majors are concentrated in the College of Applied Science. The depth of students' courses is often not as deep as that of eastern famous universities such as McGill University, but the number of courses required for graduation is generally more, which is more conducive to students to choose their own professional direction.
British Columbia is the industrial and commercial center of Canada and one of the largest producing areas of wood, energy, minerals and gold in the world. At the same time, British Columbia is particularly prominent in the development of emerging industries. For example, it is the world's top clean energy R&D base 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 Soder Business School has a large number of outstanding students entering the top investment banks, consulting companies and accounting firms in Canada and even 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 1 1 class, surpassed Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook founder Zuckerberg to become the youngest entrepreneur in the world to get venture capital. Therefore, UBC attracts a large number of top students from Canada and all over the world with its superior geographical location and first-class academic environment.
In order to meet the challenges of the new century, the University of British Columbia has set a high student training goal, and is determined to train global citizens who can adapt to different cultures around the world, analyze and solve complex problems, and process and utilize a large amount of information. To this end, the school is determined to forge ahead in education and constantly improve the academic environment of the school. The old school of nearly a hundred years is still in a state of vigorous development.
Professional courses
As one of the three major research institutions in Canada, it provides a variety of teaching projects (courses) and learning opportunities, and allows students to choose courses freely to adapt to various scholars. UBC regularly invites internationally renowned scholars and scientists to give academic reports to the school, where students can learn about today's academic trends. The school has more than 70 majors, including agricultural economics, zoology, forest resources management, computer science, nutrition, petroleum exploration engineering, geography, art, English, history and German studies, and can be awarded bachelor's, double bachelor's, master's and doctor's degrees. Teacher training in secondary and special education and pre-service training in law, medicine and dentistry are also part of the school's education.
campus
The University of British Columbia has excellent scientific research, and UBC has established four federally funded research centers, focusing on pathogen pathology, protein Project, disease genetics and international development issues. For many years, the University of British Columbia has been the only school in the western region that can compete with many famous schools in Ankui Province. In fact, more than 60% of all kinds of research in British Columbia are conducted on the campus of the University of British Columbia. It is precisely because of this advantage that the school can provide students with a lot of practical opportunities, especially the opportunity to combine theoretical study with practical research. The school offers a wide range of majors and courses. Many disciplines such as biology are first-class in Canada and even in the world. All engineering majors are concentrated in the College of Applied Science. ? Research? Is the mainstream of UBC.
In UBC campus, there are restaurants, snack bars, bars, copy centers, gift shops, bowling alleys, information desks, photo studios, music rooms and women's centers. And life is very convenient.
