Study on Canada’s West Coast

Victoria is the capital of British Columbia and a great place to study for globally-minded professionals. Located on Vancouver Island, the city is easy to reach by air or sea. It’s known for its mild weather, high quality of life and friendly community.

Outside of class, you can explore trails, enjoy fresh local food or relax at the beach. Whether you’re here to build your business skills, grow your network or take a break, Victoria is a place where you can focus, recharge and connect.

The SGBS program is amazing for 3 reasons. First of all, students can take several different types of lectures by different business professors who are experts in educational teaching and research. Secondly, the program has only 20 to 30 students in a class, which means that you develop close relationships with your classmates and professors. Thirdly, students learn not only studying about business administration but also the culture and history in Victoria. The program coordinator will give students opportunities of activities after class. I totally recommend joining the SGBS. You will see a different world from here.
