On the first day of classes, campus is transformed and the entire UBC community comes together to welcome you to your new academic community during Imagine UBC.
You’ll have the chance to meet great people on campus, including your Dean, some of your future professors, and other students. Whether you are a returning student, a new major or minor or merely curious, we invite you to learn more about our department at Imagine UBC!
Here are some Psychology welcome events and orientation activities:
UBC Arts Faculty Fair
We’ll be at the Arts Faculty Fair in the Buchanan Courtyard from 11:30am-1:15pm to welcome our first year students who can interact with dozens of departments and resources. Plus, spin a wheel to win some psych gear!
The Main Event
Visit hundreds of booths along Main Mall hosted by UBC student groups, clubs, and UBC services. Chat with group representatives, sign up for clubs, or take part in activities throughout the fair. Our student associations host a booth at the Main Event so be sure to stop by to learn more about programming, upcoming events, and how to get involved.
UBC Psychology Student Guide
To help you navigate your student journey, the department has developed a Student Guide on Canvas. This guide is designed to introduce you to all that psychology has to offer and more. Explore all of the student resources and services available to you as a UBC student. This includes our programs, how to get involved in research, academic advising, and ways to connect with other students.
