Embarking on a graduate journey at UBC's Sauder School of Business is both challenging and rewarding.
Unlike undergraduate studies, graduate school demands a higher level of intellectual engagement, critical thinking, and self-directed learning. Your coursework will typically involve a cohort of approximately 60 students, with a strong focus on specialized topics, research discussions, and case studies. Active participation in in-depth discussions is a key expectation, requiring students to engage deeply with the material.
The workload is intensive—expect to dedicate 15-20 hours per week to reading, writing, preparing presentations and proposals, conducting research, and completing assignments, in addition to scheduled class time. Managing this requires strategic time management and discipline, as well as a commitment to academic excellence and integrity.
