[公告] 2014 University of British Columbia summer programs

2014-02-13

The 2013 University of British Columbia summer programs was a success with students from over 25 universities. We have been provided with very positive feedback from students, saying that they enjoyed the experiential learning with cultural and fun activities and their stay at UBC’s Vancouver campus, located in beautiful British Columbia with lovely summer weather. This year, we are excited to invite students from National Tsinghua University to participate in UBC’s Vancouver summer programs, currently offered in 15 packages. This is a great learning experience as UBC is one of the largest and most highly rated universities in Canada and the world.

Please find enclosed the electronic versions of the Vancouver Summer Program materials so that you can share them with your students or use them in information sessions. We would be grateful if you could kindly help promote these programs to your students:
