History of The University Of British Columbia (UBC)

History, Affiliations, and Rankings The University of British Columbia was established in the year of 1908. It is one of the oldest and most popular universities in Canada. Prior to the establishment of the University of British Columbia, higher education in British Columbia was given by denominational institutions connected with McMaster, Toronto, and McGill universities. The university received the core of its initial personnel and a basic curriculum in Arts, Science, and Engineering as a result of its affiliation with McGill. McGill's Victoria College in Victoria became an associate of the university in 1920, and honours courses, extension programmes, and summer sessions were created. UBC moved to its current location on the Vancouver campus in 1925. The attraction point of the university is that in the university, military training is compulsory for every student. In World War II, more than 3,000 students of the university were enrolled in the military forces in 1944-45, and in 1947-48, more than 9,374 students enrolled in the military forces. The University of British Columbia is recognised in international university rankings for its teaching and research quality, as well as its worldwide impact: a place where people shape a better world.
