Executive MBA

A small cohort, McGill Desautels MBA provides you the opportunity to tale up leadership positions at clubs and provides you the opportunity to do projects in areas that you are passionate about. A school which focuses on overall development along with a strong community feeling. Montreal as a city provides you ample opportunity to immerse yourself in activities of your choice and McGill as a University provides a solid platform to grow and access to people who will help enhance your knowledge & exposure. It's not just a school, it's an experience. The biggest difference from other Canadian schools is the culture that you're a part of and the people around you.

I am a 2nd year MBA student at McGill. I come from an operations/supply chain background and am pursuing Business Analytics concentration at McGill. McGill is one of the top 3 B schools in Canada in my honest opinion. The university manages to recruit a really international class of close to 75 students from all across the world. Everyone brings in something new to the table and all of the students are quite competitive and smart coming from all walks of life. In my class of close to 75 students, we have 23 nationalities! The university is located in the most international city of Montreal and hence adds good flavor to the overall MBA experience. McGill is a brand name renowned across several countries. I came to McGill with the hopes of pivoting my career towards a managerial role in tech industry, having gained a lot of experience from the classes and my peers at McGill. They say that most of the learning in a B school happens from your peers and that is bang on at McGill. We have an international study trip every year which is probably the highlight of the MBA program. My class was taken to Singapore where we were given presentations from some of the top executives and government officials over there, combined with some leisure and fun activities. Finding a job in Canada depends a lot on the students capability to network with people and leverage the McGill brand name. Having said that employers recognize that McGill students are taught by professors who graduated from ivy leagues of US and hence education in most classes is world class. Some of my classmates have left behind lucrative admission offers from top schools world over to join McGill. My future advise for MBA students applying for Canada would be to keep McGill in mind if they plan to come to Canada!
