UBC is adding 778 new student spaces over six years in technology and life sciences programs thanks to additional funding from the B.C. government.
B.C.’s Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation, the Honourable Brenda Bailey, was at UBC’s Vancouver campus to celebrate the expansion as part of the provincial government’s long-term plan to meet growing demand for talent in B.C.’s tech and life sciences sectors.
“The students who will be filling these hundreds of seats at UBC will help increase the supply of talent into the province’s rapidly expanding tech sector,” says Bailey. “These graduates will be rewarded with well-paying careers while helping to advance health care and research to improve life for British Columbians, and build our clean, innovative economy of the future.”
