Telfer Double-Degree Gulf University of Science and Technology (GUST)

The Telfer School of Management was pleased to announce a double degree program with Gulf University of Science and Technology (GUST) in January 2023.  The partnership allows selected GUST students the opportunity to take courses from the Telfer School of Management and GUST with the end goal being a degree from both institutions.

The degree the GUST students will receive from the Telfer School of Management is an Honours Bachelor of Commerce (with focus on Finance).  We believe strongly the GUST students will benefit from a degree from our internationally recognized and highly ranked institution just as we will gain from their international perspective and expertise.
