University of Northern British Columbia

                                                                           

Located in the spectacular landscape of northern British Columbia, UNBC is one of Canada’s best small universities. We have a passion for teaching, discovery, people, the environment, and the North. In June 1990, the members of the BC legislative assembly passed the UNBC Act, officially creating UNBC. The dream of having a northern university goes back much further, to the 1960s, when then-MLA Ray Williston set aside the land on which UNBC's Prince George campus is currently situated as a university reserve. The University of Northern British Columbia is a university. The main campus is located in Prince George, with additional campuses located in Prince Rupert, Terrace, Quesnel, and Fort St. John. Because of its northern latitude, UNBC is a member of the University of the Arctic. In the 2020–21 academic year, 4,253 students were enrolled at UNBC.

Rankings:

In 2022, Maclean's magazine ranked UNBC as the number one university of its size in Canada, in the Primarily Undergraduate category. UNBC also finished first in the rankings in 2015 and 2016 and routinely finishes in the top three in its category. In 2023, UNBC placed second in its category. In 2007, the university obtained the trademark for "Canada's Green University." UNBC is one of the top universities of its size in Canada according to rankings published in Maclean’s Magazine. UNBC placed second in the latest edition of the rankings and consistently scores well in categories relating to student-to-faculty ratio, quality of faculty, and number of students who have won national awards. UNBC made its debut on the prestigious Times Higher Education World University Rankings in 2017. The only Canadian University of its size to be included in the rankings, UNBC is featured in the group ranked 801st to 1,000th. That puts UNBC in the top five percent of post-secondary institutions in the world. In addition, UNBC is included in Times Higher Education’s 2018 Young University Rankings.  

Location:

We are the University of Northern British Columbia. We came to life at the insistence of the residents of Northern British Columbia. They wanted to make it possible for their children to receive a university education without having to go elsewhere. We are a regional university and have campuses in Quesnel, Terrace, and Fort St. John as well as enjoying a federation agreement with the Wilp Wilxo’oskwhl (House of Wisdom) Nisga’a Institute situated on Gitwinksihlkw Village Lands within Nisg̱a’a Treaty territory.

Campus:

The buildings at UNBC are designed to represent the northern landscape. The Canfor Winter Garden area has a flowing blue staircase below a ceiling of wooden lattices, representing the West Coast rain forests. The cafeteria has a lighthouse design that represents the rugged coastline of northern British Columbia. Another structural feature, a pair of triangular glass peaks, represents mountains and functions as skylights above the UNBC Bookstore. On October 13, 2010, UNBC was co-awarded the Campus Sustainability Leadership Award by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) for its bio-energy project, which targets a reduction in fossil fuel use by supplying 85% of the heating needs at UNBC.

Culture:

Student life:

The Northern Undergraduate Student Society, known colloquially as NUGSS, represents the undergraduate student body at the University of Northern British Columbia. A non-profit organization, NUGSS serves and represents all undergraduate students at all UNBC campuses. The Society governs student-led organizations on campus, provides health and dental plans, advocates for student needs in local transit, and hosts various events. Annual NUGSS events include Backyard BBQ, Jump Back to NYE, and Final Affair. UNBC's Student Life department is dedicated to student success and aims to raise student engagement in the UNBC community. Led by community leaders known as "student ambassadors", Student Life hosts regular events, workshops, and volunteer opportunities for all UNBC students. The Student Life department is also in charge of UNBC's Orientation and Weeks of Welcome. The Northern British Columbia Graduate Student Society(NBCGSS), represents about 750 full-time and part-time graduate students. It was founded in the year of 1997, less than a decade after UNBC was founded. Every year NBCGSS holds events like winter/semi-formals, a ski trip, and a summer trip. NBCGSS is a member of the British Columbia Federation of Students. The UNBC First Nations Centre provides support services for indigenous students, including bringing in elders, counseling, and events such as talking circles and sweat lodges. The Northern Pride Centre (also known as the "PC") offers a safe space, support, and resources to the LGBT and ally community, including a new Positive Space Campaign designed by UNBC.

Athletics:

The Timberwolves were members of the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA), primarily competing in the Pacific Western Athletic Association (PacWest) until the 2011-12 season. In 2011, however, they were granted probationary membership for the 2012-2013 season by the Canada West Universities Athletic Association (Canada West) of the then-named Canadian Interuniversity Sport. The program first admitted the men's and women's soccer teams, as well as the men's and women's basketball teams that season. In 2014, UNBC was granted full membership to Canada West and has continued to field the aforementioned four varsity programs.

UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL

                                                                                                                                                                                  

                   

The University of Bristol is a red-brick Russell Group research university in Bristol, England. It received its royal charter in 1909, although it can trace its roots to a Merchant Venturers' school founded in 1595 and University College, Bristol, which had been in existence since 1876. Bristol is organized into six academic faculties composed of multiple schools and departments running over 200 undergraduate courses, largely in the Tyndalls Park area of the city. The university had a total income of £833.1 million in 2021–22, of which £186.4 million was from research grants and contracts. It is the largest independent employer in Bristol. Current academics include 21 fellows of the Academy of Medical Sciences, 13 fellows of the British Academy, 13 fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and 44 fellows of the Royal Society. The University of Bristol's alumni and faculty include 9 Nobel laureates.

Rankings and reputation:-

The University of Bristol ranks number 5 in the UK for research quality according to the most recent Research Excellence Framework assessment Chemistry (1st), Physics (5th), Engineering (6th), Mathematics (4th), Computer Science (7th), and Earth Sciences (2nd) are among the highly rated subjects. The Complete University Guide 2024 ranks Bristol 4th for the quality of its research. Bristol also ranks 5th for the number of spin-outs created and has the best business incubator in the world according to UBI Global.  Internationally, the 2024 QS World University Rankings placed Bristol at 55th overall in the world and 9th in the UK. The Times Higher Education World University Ranking placed Bristol at 76th globally and 9th in the U.K. in 2023. Another international ranking, the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities, placed Bristol 88th globally and 8th in the UK in 2023.  The University of Bristol was the fourth most targeted university by the UK's top 100 employers, according to the Graduate Market in 2023 report produced by High Fliers. It was ranked joint 7th in the U.K. for graduate employability. 

Organization and Governance:-

In common with most UK universities, Bristol is headed formally by the chancellor, currently Sir Paul Nurse, and led on a day-to-day basis by the vice-chancellor, currently Professor Evelyn Welch, who is the academic leader and chief executive. There are four pro-vice-chancellors and three ceremonial pro-chancellors. The chancellor may hold office for up to ten years and the pro-chancellors for up to three, unless the University Court determines otherwise, but the vice-chancellor and pro-vice-chancellors have no term limits. The vice-chancellor is supported by a deputy vice-chancellor.

Campus:-

Buildings and sites:-

The university does not have a main campus but is spread over a considerable geographic area. Most of its activities, however, are concentrated in the area of the city center, referred to as the "University Precinct".

Some of the University of Bristol's buildings date to its pre-charter days when it was University College Bristol. These buildings were designed by Charles Hansom and suffered from being built in stages due to financial pressure. The first large-scale building project the University of Bristol undertook to gain a charter was the Wills Memorial Building. The armorials on the Founder's Window represent all of the interests present at the founding of the University of Bristol including the Wills and Fry families. Other notable buildings and sites include Royal Fort House, the University of Bristol Botanic Garden, many large Victorian houses that were converted for teaching in the Faculty of Arts, and the Victoria Rooms which house the Music Department and were designed by Charles Dyer. The tympanum of the building depicts a scene from The Advent of Morning designed by Jabez Tyley.

In May 2022, the university announced the opening of the Gambling Harms and Research Centre (GHRC). The center worth £4 million aims to increase awareness and understanding of the dangers of gambling. The project was funded by the Gamble Aware charity, which chose the University for its History in researching gambling issues, and will integrate research from six facilities.

Student's Union:-

The University of Bristol Students' Union (Bristol SU) located on Queen's Road in the Richmond Building is a founding member of the National Union of Students and is amongst the oldest students' unions in England. The union oversees three media outlets: UBTV, the Bristol University Radio Station (BURST), and the student newspaper Epigram. There is also a local branch of The Tab. The Union is responsible for representing students' academic interests through elections of student representatives and democratic events. The Union is also responsible for the organization of the annual Welcome Fair, the coordination of Bristol Student Community Action, which organizes volunteering projects in the local community, and the organization of entertainment events and over 400 student groups, societies, and clubs. Previous presidents have included Sue Lawley and former Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Öpik. There is a separate union for postgraduate students, as well as an athletic union, which is a member of the British Universities & Colleges Sport. In distinction to the "blues" awarded for sporting excellence at Oxford and Cambridge, Bristol's most successful athletes are awarded "reds".

Halls of residence:-

Several of the residences in the central precinct are more recent and have been built and are managed by third-party organizations under exclusivity arrangements with the university. These include New Bridewell House, opened in 2016, which is in the former police HQ, it includes en-suite bedrooms and studios and is operated by Fresh Student Housing, Unite House, and Chantry Court, opened in 2000 and 2003 respectively by the UNITE Group, as well as Dean's Court (2001, postgraduates only) and Woodland Court (2005), both run by the Dominion Housing Group.

All of the main halls select groups of students to the Junior Common Room to organize the hall's social calendar for the next year. Residents of student houses, private accommodations, and students living at home become members of Orbital – a society organizing social events for students throughout the year. 

Sport:-

The university caters to its students with sporting facilities split across four primary complexes:

Bristol University Indoor Sports Centre- The Indoor Sports Centre is located at the heart of the university campus and is home to a fully equipped two-storey gym, fitness studios, sports hall, and Sports Medicine Clinic. 

Coombe Dingle Sports Complex- This 38-acre site in the heart of Stoke Bishop, features the only indoor tennis center in Bristol and is where the university's more traditional outdoor sports reside. Coombe Dingle is typically used for training and competition. Throughout the year Coombe Dingle hosts a variety of competitive fixtures, including inter-university BUCS matches, plus local and national league matches.

Facilities available at Coombe Dingle Sports Complex: • 3G pitch • Artificial pitches (sand dressed and floodlit) • Grass pitches (football and rugby) • Cricket squares and nets (including grass) • Tennis courts, indoor and outdoor (floodlit) • Lacrosse pitch • Netball courts (outdoor) • Olympic weight lifting gym • Softball and rounders facilities • Pavilion, lounge bar and meeting rooms • Sports Medicine Clinic

Richmond Building- The university swimming pool is located inside the student union (Richmond Building). This six-lane swimming pool has a moveable bulkhead, creating a competition-length main pool, alongside a comfortable teaching pool for lessons. The pool is available to students, staff, and the community for lane and casual swimming, or lessons, on a membership or pay-as-you-go basis.

Saltford Boathouse- The University Boathouse is based at Saltford, halfway to Bath on the River Avon. Used for term-time training/competition and out-of-term recreational water sports, the Boathouse moors up the university rowing and sailing boats.

Academics:-

Degrees:-

Bristol awards a range of academic degrees spanning bachelor's and master's degrees as well as junior doctorates and higher doctorates. The postnominals awarded are the degree abbreviations used commonly among British universities. The university is part of the Engineering Doctorate scheme and awards the Eng. D. in systems engineering, engineering management, aerospace engineering, and non-destructive evaluation.

Bristol notably does not award by title any bachelor's degrees in music, which is available for study but awards BA (although it does award MMus and DMus), nor any degree in divinity, since divinity, is not available for study (students of theology are awarded a BA). Similarly, the university does not award BLitt (Bachelor of Letters), although it does award both MLitt and DLitt. In regulations, the university does not name MD or DDS as higher doctorates, although they are in many universities as these degrees are normally accredited professional doctorates.

The degrees of DLitt, DSc, DEng, LLD, and DMus, whilst having regulations specifying the grounds for the award, are most often conferred as honorary degrees (in honoris causa). Those used most commonly are the DLitt, DSc, and LLD, with the MA (and occasionally the MLitt) also sometimes conferred honorarily for distinction in the local area or within the university.
