Canadian colleges were much less expensive than in the USA. UBC has had great alumni and amazing professors in the past (some Nobel prize winners). Along with the amazing learning opportunities and financial reasons, the university's student life and the quality of life in Vancouver played a huge role in helping me decide that this was the uni wraith for me.

Hello. I am Grace Idachaba from Nigeria. I have completed my bachelors of science in Nursing (4 year course) in Norther Cyprus. I graduated in July of 2023. I have no other experience apart from the internship placements we had during our time in school. This is due to the language barrier we face here (Turkish). Am I still elidgible to apply for the MSc in Nursing program at UBC?
