Up by one place on last year, and continuing to claim a position in the top 20 of the QS Best Student Cities ranking, Vancouver is home to two universities which feature in the QS World University Rankings® 2020, of which the highest-ranked is the University of British Columbia at 51st in the world. Vancouver’s other ranked institution, Simon Fraser University, offers a particularly unique study setting, thanks to the location of its main campus in the middle of the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area, just outside the city.
Whether you’re based in the city center or not, Vancouver has much to offer, claiming a top 10 position for the desirability indicator. The nearby Grouse, Seymour and Cypress mountains provide more than just a beautiful backdrop to the city – they’re also an incredibly popular destination for snowsports, offering some of the world’s best ski resorts.
Even in the center of Vancouver the great outdoors is never far away – beaches, forest and stunning mountains are all within easy reach. For those who prefer cultural pursuits, Vancouver also offers an array of brilliant nightlife, theatres and music – everything you’d expect from one of Canada’s most loved cities.

Hi there, I'm not sure about the average costs of an MBA in the city, but to give you an example, UBC Saunder currently charges CA$76,981 per year to international students for its full-time MBA. However, they do offer scholarships. Unfortunately Vancouver is one of the most expensive Canadian cities to live in, with an average of CA$15,075 needed for living costs. You can find out more about the costs of studying in Canada here, can find scholarships here and if you want to research more about MBAs, check out our sister site TopMBA.com. :)
