In 2002, noticing the lack of African studies at UBC, a dedicated group of students with the support of organizations, faculty members and staff came together to create “African Awareness.” Since then, an African Studies program has been created and cultural events, lectures, and student internships have evolved.
Come listen to the experiences of UBC students who have worked and studied on exchange and hear about new opportunities for studying and working in Africa. Learn more about the courses available in African Studies.
