We're a global centre for teaching, learning and research, consistently ranked among the top public universities in the world. Since 1915, UBC has been opening doors of opportunity for people with the curiosity, drive and vision to shape a better world. Our two campuses in Vancouver and the Okanagan serve over 70,000 students, supported by nearly 21,000 faculty and staff members who are committed to pursuing excellence in research, learning and engagement.
What drives us is a vision of inspiring people, ideas and actions for a better world. We generate nearly $900 million in research funding across nearly 10,000 projects, and we've spun off more than 260 companies from our research.

We operate on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people and the Syilx Okanagan Nation, and we're guided by values of excellence, integrity, respect, academic freedom and accountability as we work to foster global citizenship and advance a sustainable and just society.
