Language of instruction requirements

English is the language of instruction and communication at UBC Animal Care Services. To ensure success in the hands-on laboratory portion of the courses, students must demonstrate an adequate level of understanding of spoken English. If a student does not have an adequate level of understanding of spoken English using some medical terms, please contact the training group at least one week ahead of the lab to discuss the options available for translation services.
