At UBC, the flexibility offered in course content and choices, allows one to shape their own academic career. One student’s schedule will look completely different than another’s. However, while independence is encouraged and expected, help is readily available whenever one may require it. UBC is a research institution; as such, many opportunities are available to all. I am majoring in Psychology and Ancient Mediterranean and Near East Studies, such an eclectic mix of subjects would be accepted in only a few institutions.
