For BCom students, co-op education is a fantastic way to gain career-building, paid work experience relevant to your BCom specialization. UBC Sauder co-op students perform valuable, useful work and develop skills and a professional network that help launch a career after graduation.
Manage a real multimillion-dollar portfolio
Targeting a career in the global capital markets? The UBC Portfolio Management Foundation program provides a select group of BCom students with the opportunity to work with industry mentors to manage a real multimillion-dollar portfolio as part of a unique real-world learning experience.
Connect with employers and influencers
UBC Sauder acts as a bridge between students and employers, alumni and other members of the broader business community. Events like the UBC Sauder Entrepreneurship luncheon, which provides a unique opportunity for students to showcase their start-up businesses, help bring everyone together.
Help local social enterprises grow
Master of Management students at UBC Sauder can put their business skills to work on community-enhancing projects with not-for-profit and social enterprises in Vancouver. Students use their expertise in business planning, market expansion, community planning and environmental sustainability initiatives to help make a difference.
Solve live business problems
A highlight of the UBC MBA program is the summer experiential learning component. Students use their learning and skills to solve live business problems as part of a hands-on internship or entrepreneurial project - from consulting and financial analysis to driving forward a new business idea.
Release your inner entrepreneur
You don't need to invent an app or start a business to be an entrepreneur; you can also become an 'intrapreneur' within a company or help build a fledgling start-up. We offer courses, options and tracks in entrepreneurship. And when your "eureka" moment arrives, expert support - and even seed money - is on hand.
Drive social innovation
Vancouver is developing into a recognized innovation hub, and UBC Sauder is part of it. The Coast Capital Savings Innovation Hub supports early stage ventures devoted to solving social and environmental problems using for-profit business models. The Hub provides working space, expert faculty and alumni mentors, and support from UBC Sauder students.
