It really pushed me to look at the total business, the big picture and think like a CEO. The professors are top notch with real world business experiences. There are very few part-time programs that can provide such quality education.

Student experience

Thanks to experiences shared with a close-knit cohort on two continents, UBC IMBA candidates graduate with an international network. While the majority of the program is taught by UBC Sauder professors who fly to Shanghai, during two insightful weeks, the cohort flies to UBC Sauder’s picturesque Vancouver campus for an intensive residency. There, candidates expand their network in Canada and enhance their knowledge through a case study approach.

On both sides of the Pacific you’ll be able to take advantage of exclusive professional development opportunities, like career coaching, mentorship opportunities and workshops tailored specifically to IMBA candidates.
