Feature and warning
What this offers
UBC Vancouver has a minimum funding policy for its eligible PhD students.
Check before applying
The UBC policy is campus-specific. A minimum package is not the amount left after tuition, and a PGWP is not automatic.
Fees, funding, and visa rules change. Confirm current terms with the university or the government source before you apply.
