The University of British Columbia (UBC) Courses and Fees 2025

Course curriculum lets students explore many different fields of computer science. One can major in software development, machine learning, cybersecurity, and even artificial intelligence. Research culture is the main reason why students at UBC excel. They can choose the topic of research and the research paper is published by the university and it helps a lot of students get placed after completing their degrees. Practical exposure is provided through specialization projects for each course.

30,000 CAD per year

There are various opportunities for research and for applying knowledge learned in the classroom.

Depends on how many courses a student takes. It roughly estimated to 3,500$ for a 3 credit course.

Very difficult, unnecessarily so. Drove me to depression and imposter syndrome is real. Taught me some skills to help me get jobs.

8000 CAD

It is hectic and tough but proper time management and organization can help you a lot.

60,000 CAD/year

It is great and most up to date, we frequently have industrial exposure through fairs and seminars.

CAD $49000 (International Students)

Very unique programs available could use some improvements but overall is great.

Tuition only would come to 46,000-50,000 CAD a year

The curriculum is very intense, yet enjoyable. I find the courses are well thought out and the school also provides very helpful resources to get by.

UBC charges approximately 1400 CAD per credit (most courses are 3 credits however there are also 1 credit courses, such as labs, and 4 credit courses which have more content). Tuition varies for each student depending on how many credits they take each year. Students in most faculties take about 20-30 credits per year, whereas engineering students generally take 35-40 credits per year.

The syllabi of most courses are up to date. Professors love to talk about new technology especially when it comes to their own research and findings. Talking about their research is a good way to get to know them and for them to get to know you. Any relation with a professor can open doors with research experience as they're more likely to select you to help with their research. The co-op program, although competitive, allows for a good opportunity to work in the industry.

The average is around 45000CAD excluding the rent.

The curriculum in Bioinformatics is a very wide area so we are going to learn the basics so we're able to reach ourselves in the industry.

200000

It's great, and it's pretty much exactly what it's built up to be. They have a lot of incentives like scholarships, competitions, and prizes for students, and are really trying to normalize advocating for mental health, which is something I really like. As for the courses, I think most of them are at the right level of difficulty, but I did think some of the delivery of said courses could be improved.

For international students, it's around CAD 50,000 to CAD 60,000 per year, so if one takes four years to complete, then the range is between CAD 200,000 to CAD 240,000.
