Located in the spectacular landscape of Northern British Columbia, UNBC is Canada's Green University, recognized nationally and internationally for outstanding undergraduate and graduate learning opportunities that explore health, culture, business, and the environment.

UNBC fosters a culture of curiosity and students are top of mind in every decision. One in three students receives a financial award from the $4 million in scholarships and bursaries contributed by generous donors. Inspired by our Indigenous Dakelh (Carrier) name, "Nizdeh Nekeyoh Hohudel'eh Baiyoh," which translates to "House of Learning," UNBC's award-winning faculty, hands-on learning, and innovative curriculum make our "house of learning" your home for post-secondary education.

Canada's Maclean's magazine has ranked UNBC in the top three of the country's best small universities for eleven consecutive years. UNBC degrees in sectors such as Environmental and Sustainability Studies, Nursing, History, Computer Science, Social Work, Business and Engineering will prepare you for a successful career or advanced academic studies. Instruction is enriched using modern technology, practical sessions in advanced laboratories, exchange programs and field schools throughout northern BC and around the world. Internationally, the diversity of our students, staff and faculty has become a celebrated strength placing us in the top 5% of universities worldwide by Times Higher Education and in the top 300 in Elite Young Universities. As one of top 50 research universities in Canada, we are proud to create a culture of innovative thinking for our students and share outcomes of our teaching and research with the world.

Live just five minutes away from the heart of UNBC! Convenient, safe, and supportive, Neyoh and Keyoh buildings are home to fully furnished apartment-style living. Students can choose between self-directed housing or four different living communities: All Female, Green, Mature Student, and Academic Intensive.

Students are connected to on and off-campus resources through their Resident Assistants, senior student leaders who provide educational and social programming for students living in housing.

Off-campus housing in Prince George comes in a variety of rental options including apartments, condos, basement suites and houses (some even come furnished).

There is a wide selection of rentals close to campus, shopping, and transit. Live solo or find a roommate!

The spirit of UNBC shines brightest during September and January Orientation Week! New students and their families will enjoy social activities that encourage campus connection and confidence. Throughout each semester, student intramurals and UNBC Timberwolves basketball and soccer games continue to build school spirit.

We are proud to say that 84% of our grads are employed within six months of graduating! UNBC builds the work force leaders of tomorrow by offering professional career counseling. The Student Career Centre organizes workshops, career fairs, employer networking events, and manages the popular co-op program. We also provide a dedicated web page that lists current job postings here in BC and across Canada.

The Northern Sport Centre combines the best in athletics, fitness, and recreation. The facility hosts three gymnasiums, two indoor fields, squash courts and the region's only indoor track. Modern fitness equipment, cardio and weights, varied fitness classes and fun drop-in sports like pickleball are available to all members. The Northern Sport Centre is the home of the UNBC Timberwolves men's and women's basketball and teams, and UNBC Intramural Leagues.

Students at UNBC work hard and play hard on campus and off! From Orientation Week fun and games, club activities, to cheering on the Timberwolves, seasonal celebrations, campus social life is never boring!

Explore the great outdoors on your doorstep with urban forest walking trails, nearby lakes, and accessible recreation like snowshoeing, downhill and cross-country skiing. Prefer the indoors? Catch a hockey game with the Prince George Cougars and Spruce Kings, a performance at Theatre Northwest or music festivals like Cold Snap.

Take a break from the books and join a club! There are over forty to choose from including Medieval, Wildlife Society, South Asian Students and more. Clubs are a great way to meet new people, support the community, get active and build a healthy school - work - life balance. If we don't have the club you're looking for, start it!

Students will stay connected with our campus-wide wi-fi, online services and computer stations located in the library and beyond. Those living in residence also have wi-fi that is included in all housing fees. Each student is assigned a personal UNBC email address that gives them access to online services such as Blackboard and PaperCut.

UNBC is home to students representing over fifty countries around the world. UNBC's International Office promotes cultural awareness, intercultural learning, and research and exchange opportunities through a variety of fun activities such as International Week. Head to the Global Lounge for a study break or meet some friends.

Canada's culture is rich with the history of Indigenous people: First Nations, Inuit, and Metis. UNBC's four campuses are located on and serve diverse Indigenous territories. First Nations language certifications and curriculum designed with cultural awareness direct our path towards truth and reconciliation.

UNBC is committed to supporting students as they journey through their academic life. Academically we offer students free drop-in tutoring programs, study sessions and career guidance. From a health and wellness perspective, students can access on-site medical services such as counselling, flu shots, physician referrals, prescription renewals and more. Licensed childcare is on site and is available on a first come, first-serve basis.

UNBC is committed to reducing physical, intellectual, and social barriers to ensure all students can enjoy the university experience. We offer support to those with physical and learning disabilities in the classroom, housing and more.
