Master of Food and Resource Economics
The MFRE’s focus on applied economics, policy, and agribusiness management was very well aligned with my career goals. I wanted to gain advanced studies in economics and specialize in a field relevant to international development, and it’s provided me with a wide range of skills and knowledge.

The UBC Animal Welfare program was a great experience. The researchers are very well respected in the animal welfare world and we were exposed to a whole spectrum of animal welfare issues.

UBC runs in my blood… UBC Kinesiology major, Co-op student, and the great-great-great granddaughter of Frank Fairchild Wesbrook (the first president of UBC). Living out the family legacy. Proud to be a part of UBC and hope to use my education to make a difference in the lives of others!
