THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIAUBC is one of the world’s great public universities, encouraging bold thinking, curiosity and initiative, so our students can realize their greatest potential. We hold a reputation for excellence in advanced research and learning, supported by world-class faculty, postdoctoral fellows, students and research facilities across all major academic disciplines.

ADMISSIONSGraduate programs in the Faculty of Medicine are administered by the University of British Columbia Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. While UBC has general admissions requirements that must be met, each individual graduate program may have additional requirements. For example, the English language proficiency requirement is higher in most Faculty of Medicine programs than the minimum university requirement. For more details, please visit the websites of the individual programs.

FINANCIAL SUPPORTFinancial support for graduate students typically comes from one or more of four basic sources: merit-based awards administered by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies; teaching and/or research assistantships; need based awards; and direct awards from external agencies. Specific graduate student awards are available to research trainees registered in Medicine or supervised by a faculty member with a primary appointment in the Faculty of Medicine.

Our province-wide programs provide opportunities for training in subjects ranging from the diversity of basic biomedical sciences, to clinical and health services research.
