Programs:

Teaching and research at UBC are conducted in 12 faculties and 11 schools, with each offering a broad range of programs of study. Other academic opportunities include co-op learning, in which studies are combined with real-world work experience, and exchange programs, which allow students to spend one or two terms at a foreign university.

The Faculty of Graduate Studies offers a wide range of options for master's and doctoral students. We offer students an intellectually challenging education through programs that are international in scope, interactive in process and interdisciplinary in content and approach.

This is one of the few faculties in North America with a strong focus on interdisciplinary work. At UBC, studying at the graduate level means liberation from the tight constraints of discipline and department.
