Greetings from Vancouver, Canada and we hope you are staying well and healthy!
The Vancouver Summer Program (VSP) is an opportunity for undergraduate students to study at the University of British Columbia during the summer. Like before, in 2024 we are offering two sessions for students to experience studying at UBC and Canada:
June Session: June 7 – July 7, 2024, Application Deadline: March 22, 2024 (*extended from March 1, 2024)
July Session: July 12 – August 12, 2024, Application Deadline: April 5, 2024
Details of VSP 2024, including application requirements, details of the 80+ course packages on offer, and application instructions can be found on our website vancouversummerprogram.ubc.ca. Students can apply to VSP directly on our website, or through a group application submitted by an administrator at your institution. For more details on sending students to VSP through a group application, please visit our partner portal at vancouversummerprogram.ubc.ca/apply-now/information-for-partner-institutions/ with the password VancouverSP2024. We kindly ask you to not share the link and password to the partner portal with your students.
While we have extended the application deadline for the June session, we encourage students and partners to submit their applications as soon as possible to leave ample time to apply for the required travel document to enter Canada.
Most of the course packages at VSP do not require applicants to have prior knowledge in the disciplines – this make VSP a great opportunity for students to explore topics outside of their majors, such as:
