A Presentation on the University of British Columbia



On April 11, 2014, Ms. Maneesha Gorti (College Advisor) organized a Presentation on the University of British Columbia that was presented by Hakan Bjorn for current XII Grade IBDP and CBSE students.

About the University of British Columbia
Located in the gorgeous city of Vancouver, the University of British Columbia (UBC), established in 1908, is one of Canada’s leading research universities. It has consistently been ranked amongst the Top 40 in the world. 

Students’ Reflections
UBC's location plays a major role in the students’ lives on-campus, seeing as it is just around the corner of breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains and 30 minutes away from the hub of the city, which is filled with a wide range of internships and learning opportunities. Ranked amongst top names such as Stanford and Yale, UBC's research facility is unlike any other and holds great prestige all over Western Canada. This university is also distinguished for having the most number of varied international students. After attending UBC's orientation, I definitely believe that it is an opportunity well worth considering.

As a student aspiring to study sustainability, the visit from UBC was pretty fascinating. UBC’s programmes are of a wide variety and I found quite a few of them interesting. The location of the university, the schemes, and the environment — it's all perfect for a person like me, really. I'd always considered this university as one I'd be applying to and I'm even more enthusiastic about it after the university presentation at our school.
