Students in a first year science class

Your first year science options

Most UBC Science students design their own course schedule in first year, depending on the program they want to enter in second year. The first year seminar in science gives all our students a small class experience. You can also explore interdisciplinary connections with the Science One program, or cohort-based learning with First Year Focus.
