Student Life

In the ECE department, we encourage student involvement not only in research and coursework, but also in the many social and community-based opportunities that are available to you as part of your ECE cohort, the UBC community, and the city of Vancouver as a whole!

Students in ECE actively contribute to UBC’s reputation as a leading research institution as well as a highly desirable environment that promotes opportunities for growth, networking, and lifelong partnerships and friendships. We hope that the experiences you have, organizations and groups you interact with, and the people you meet during your time in ECE contribute to a memorable and positive experience that helps to shape the future for all of our students.

We encourage you to explore the various resources and student clubs and societies on this page that can help make your experience in ECE a positive, enriching, and successful one.
