Tuition fees at UBC compare favourably with schools of the same high international calibre.
Most bachelor’s degrees at UBC take four years of full-time study to complete and tuition is charged on a per-credit basis, not a “flat-rate.” Tuition costs vary depending on how many credits you take, which program you are taking, and whether you are an international (visa) student or a citizen or permanent resident of Canada.
