As a long-standing tradition of UBC Psychology’s undergraduate community, the Psychology Students’ Association of UBC (PSA) and UBC Psychology are proud to host the 28th Annual UBC Psychology Undergraduate Research Conference (PURC) on April 10 and 11, 2026 at UBC’s Earth Sciences Building (ESB).
PURC’s mission is to provide a professional environment for undergraduate researchers to showcase their work, gain experience in presenting at conferences, and contribute to the scientific community.
All undergraduate researchers who have spearheaded any form of psychology research during the 2025-2026 academic year are encouraged to apply to present at this conference. This opportunity is not only an invaluable opportunity for the presenter to exhibit their research, but is also crucial in making this event a truly enriching experience.
The event will include a special keynote speaker, showcase of undergraduate students’ research, professors, UBC community, and refreshments to keep the energy going.
