Master Of Global Business Program Expands

Students seeking a UVic Master of Global Business (MGB) degree will soon have a choice of three more world-wide study locations due to expansion of the innovative one-year program offered by the Sardul S. Gill Graduate School at UVic’s Gustavson School of Business.
       As of September 2012, students accepted into the program can enter path one to study at UVic and then move to Taiwan to attend the National Sun Yat-Sen University and finish in Austria at the Johannes Kepler University. Or they can enter the new path two beginning at UVic, but then moving to the Rouen Business School in France and Sungkyunkwan University Business School in Korea. In all cases, UVic students study alongside students from these partner institutions, then undertake a global internship to complete their degree.
       “We designed the program for students with an undergraduate business degree and our first two intakes were fully subscribed,” says John Oldale, associate director of the MGB program.
       “With global economies and globalization, employers are looking for people who are comfortable working internationally across cultures and our program fosters these skills. Our students learn global business first-hand, not just by studying from home,” he says.
       The Gill Graduate School also offers MBA programs and a PhD in International Management and Organization. Admission requirements are online at www.uvic.ca/gustavson/gill.
