Student experience

The MSc in Management is a full-time program, and it is not designed to accommodate full-time work alongside your studies.

No, the MSc in Management is an in-person program delivered on campus in Ottawa and is not available in a hybrid or online format.

Studying in Ottawa means learning at multicultural capital-city environment, networking and co‑op opportunities with employers in the region, and a close‑knit faculty community that offers smaller classes and extensive academic support.

Cohorts typically include a mix of domestic and international students from a wide range of undergraduate backgrounds (including, but not limited to, management, engineering, social sciences, health sciences, law, and the arts). Since no work experience is required, many students apply directly after completing their four-year undergraduate degree.
