Operating as an independent organization of UBC, the AMS advocates students’ interests and provides opportunities for their growth and advancement. The AMS represents over 56,000 undergraduate and graduate students and its priorities are determined by these members.

From providing advocacy, to student services that support health and education, to reducing student debt, the AMS fights for student interest to the University and all levels of government so that all students can succeed in life and take ownership over their time at the University of British Columbia.
