Meet our Students

UBC has close to 10,000 graduate students including more than 2500 international graduate students from all over the world. Some of our students provided profiles about their research which we would like to share with you. This list is by no means complete and we do not have a profile for each country we have international students from, but these profiles will give you an idea why students chose to come to UBC, what they like about Vancouver and what their career goals are.

You can also check out the world map that shows where the students are from.
