Take Your Cultural Explorations on the Road

Imagine learning French in France or studying oceanography in Australia. It’s up to you at UBC.

Whether you're from Bogota, Burnaby, Boston, or Beijing, you have a unique perspective to share, and when you arrive at university, you’ll have a wealth of knowledge to gain from a rich learning environment.

What sets the University of British Columbia apart from other universities is that here, you'll be part of a culturally and ethnically diverse campus. At UBC, you’re encouraged to put down your books and venture into the world.

Imagine learning French in France, discovering Mayan civilizations in Mexico, or studying ocean sciences in Australia.

With 175 partners in 42 countries, the Go Global program at UBC can help you find the international learning opportunity that's right for you. For example, you could spend two years studying at France's renowned Sciences Po (L'Institut d'études politiques). Or you could specialize in engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

As a UBC student, you are also eligible to conduct research at a partner university. Why would you want to conduct research abroad? Here are just four reasons:

Learn new techniques
Learn new research techniques and access equipment and resources beyond what might be offered at UBC.

Enhance your academic career
Graduate and professional schools look at unique and defining features in your academic and extracurricular experience.

Engage with people from other cultures
Learn about other cultures and how research is done in other countries.

Network
Make contacts that you would not otherwise be able to meet. UBC programs offer students transformational, experiential learning opportunities that promote global awareness, meaningful engagement and cross-cultural understanding.

The UBC motto is Tuum Est. It is up to you. Are you ready?
