Applications for this program's intake are closed, but we'd still like to help you find your ideal program at Capilano University. Please fill out our Request Information form and an advisor will be in touch with you.

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

In this 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.

The majority of this program is completed in Canada at Capilano University, however, as part of completing their master's degree, students are required to attend a six-month period of study at our partner institution; the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom.
