Ivey’s 16-month MSc Program is a transformational experience for recent grads, like you, who want to hone their skill sets, develop their leadership abilities and kickstart their careers. Choose a specialization that will build on the foundation of your undergraduate degree and give you the deeper knowledge and practical experience that will set you apart.
IVEY MSc IN MANAGEMENT The Ivey MSc addresses the need for a new brand of manager — experts who understand what defines a business best practice and can translate that knowledge into action. Are you... ··A recent university graduate with less than two years of work experience? ··Looking to develop specialized knowledge and new skill sets? ··Seeking real-world experiences to expand your career prospects?
What is an MSc? Ivey’s MSc is a Master of Science in Management; one common misconception is that this is a traditional science program. The MSc in Management incorporates deeper levels of understanding about management practices through applied research and analysis, which is where it derives its scientific lean. Ivey’s direct-entry masters program does not require full-time work experience. This program is offered in three streams:

2
