Teaching & Learning
Teaching and research at UBC are conducted in 12 faculties and 11 schools, with each offering a broad range of programs of study.
Other academic opportunities include co-op learning, in which studies are combined with real-world work experience, and exchange programs, which allow students to spend one or two terms at a foreign university.
UBC's Centre for Teaching and Academic Growth offers programs to enhance teaching skills for faculty and graduate students and many UBC faculties and schools also provide opportunities for continuing professional education -- UBC's Continuing Studies and Office of Learning Technology (Distance Learning) offers courses, workshops, seminars and certificate programs to both on- and off-campus learners.
