The University of British Columbia (UBC) is a Canadian public university with its main campus located at Point Grey in the unincorporated Electoral Area A, immediately west of Vancouver, British Columbia. It also has three satellite campuses within the city of Vancouver: a campus at Vancouver General Hospital for the medical sciences, UBC Robson Square in downtown Vancouver for part-time credit and non-credit programmes, and a limited series of classes at the Great Northern Way Campus. Another smaller campus, known as UBC Okanagan, is located in Kelowna, British Columbia.

Location

Aerial View of UBC Campus & Pacific Spirit Park

A twenty-minute drive from downtown Vancouver, the Point Grey campus of the university is near several beaches and has views of the North Shore mountains. The 7.63 km² Pacific Spirit Regional Park serves as a green-belt between the campus and the city. The campus, along with Pacific Spirit Regional Park, the University Endowment Lands, and the residential community of University Hill, is not within Vancouver's city limits. It is part of the Greater Vancouver Regional District's Electoral Area A, which is made up of the non-incorporated areas of the Lower Mainland. As a result, UBC is policed by the RCMP rather than the Vancouver Police Department. However, the Vancouver Fire Department does service UBC under a contract.
