Program Highlights

Stand out from the crowd with a Graduate Diploma in North American & International Management from Capilano University and a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in International Business from the University of Hertfordshire.

In this two-year full-time program, students focus on Canadian-specific and international business issues and trends. You will develop an awareness of differences in the cultural, socio-economic and political context of international business operations. Students in this program have the additional benefit of gaining local work experience and business connections during a two-month North American based practicum. Concentrations are available in marketing, human resources, international strategy & entrepreneurship or and finance & investment. The majority of this program is completed in Canada at Capilano University, however, as part of completing their master degree, students are required to attend a six month period of study at our partner institution; the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom.
