Through the work of our Academic Advisor, Indigenous Students, our faculties engage in outreach, recruitment, and student retention work with Indigenous students. In this work we aim to build long lasting relationships with Indigenous youth throughout their education into their careers.

Prospective Students
Are you a prospective student undecided about what faculty might be right for you? While there are many things you might come to UBC to study, you can review UBC Science's broad array of top-ranked programs:
UBC First Nations House of Learning
The First Nations House of Learning is a 'home away from home' for First Nations students studying at UBC. The FNHL works to make the University's vast resources more accessible to Indigenous Peoples, and to improve UBC's ability to meet the needs of First Nations, Métis and Inuit. The Indigenous portal provides links and information to all the services available to First Nations, Métis and Inuit students at UBC. Visit the House of Learning website to find information on degree opportunities, services, such as childcare and counselling, financial aid, and more.
