Program Highlights

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 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 degree, students are required to attend a six-month period of study at our partner institution; the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom.

Program Length

Progression to the M.Sc. International Business at the University of Hertfordshire is subject to successfully completing the required Capilano University courses and meeting the minimal entry requirements as governed by the recognition agreement between the two universities.

Due to scheduling requirements, full-time students (up to five classes per term) starting in September can complete this program in a minimum of 27 months. Full time students starting January can complete this program in a minimum of 33 months. Students who choose not to follow the suggested program plan will take longer to complete the program and must meet with an academic advisor to approve any changes.
