Time is your most valuable asset. This MBA is designed so you can progress efficiently and, if you choose the accelerated path, complete your studies in as little as one year. Every module is structured to focus on outcomes that matter: financial insight, sustainable strategy, and decision-making under uncertainty.

Whether you’re aiming for a timely career pivot or seeking to formalise years of experience with a powerful qualification, the online format helps you move quickly—without uprooting your life, job, or family in Montreal.

No mandatory online presence at specific times and dates

There are no fixed lecture times to attend. You access learning materials, case studies, and discussions when it suits you—before work, after dinner, or during a quiet moment on the weekend. This flexibility supports real work–study–life balance.

Asynchronous learning empowers you to engage deeply at your pace. If a complex valuation model or sustainability framework deserves a second look, you can revisit it without the pressure of keeping up with a live timetable. Your progress is steady, focused, and yours to control.

Study from anywhere—even offline via our mobile app

With our mobile app, you can download study materials and lectures for offline viewing—ideal for commutes, travel, or moments when Wi‑Fi is not available. Whether you’re crossing the city, flying for work, or taking a weekend away, your MBA comes with you.

Seamless access across devices means your study time adapts to your life. Start a lecture on your laptop at home, review notes on your phone during a break, and continue reading on a tablet while on the move. Consistent momentum is built into the experience.

Open-book assessments instead of classical exams

Real leaders don’t memorise—they analyse, synthesise, and apply. That’s why this MBA uses open-book assessments rather than traditional question-and-answer exams. You are evaluated on your ability to interpret data, integrate sources, and make defensible recommendations under realistic constraints.

This approach reflects how finance and sustainability decisions are made in the real world—using information resources, working through ambiguity, and justifying choices with transparent assumptions. It’s a more authentic test of the capabilities you’ll use on the job.

Guided by tutors from world-renowned universities

Learn under the guidance of experienced faculty who have graduated from world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. Their diverse academic and professional backgrounds bring you a rich blend of scholarship and practice.

Expect feedback that sharpens your thinking, expands your perspective, and challenges you to connect financial discipline with sustainable outcomes. Your tutors are committed to your development—both as a strategist and as a responsible decision-maker.

Diverse peers from 130+ countries and alumni in leading organisations

Join a global classroom where you’ll learn alongside peers from over 130 countries. This diversity offers daily exposure to different markets, regulations, and business cultures—an invaluable asset when you’re working on cross-border deals, ESG reporting, or multinational projects.

What this MBA can unlock for professionals in Montreal

Montreal is home to a dynamic financial ecosystem—from major banks and asset managers to pension funds and fintech innovators. With advanced skills in sustainable finance, risk, and valuation, you can contribute to mandates that integrate ESG considerations into capital allocation, from green bonds and transition finance to impact investing and climate risk analysis. The city’s role in North American markets positions you to work on initiatives that blend financial performance with measurable sustainability outcomes.

As Montreal advances large-scale infrastructure and mobility projects—from transit expansion to sustainable urban development—there’s growing demand for professionals who can connect financing structures with environmental and social impact. An MBA focused on finance and sustainability helps you evaluate project cash flows and cost of capital while aligning with frameworks like TCFD, ISSB, and evolving disclosure standards adopted by institutional investors.

Montreal’s innovation economy—spanning AI, aerospace, life sciences, and creative tech—benefits from leaders who can balance growth with responsibility. With this MBA, you can bring rigorous financial discipline to innovation portfolios, design governance for sustainability-linked KPIs, and help organisations build resilience in supply chains and operations. In a bilingual, globally connected city, your capability to translate complex finance into actionable sustainability strategy becomes a distinctive advantage.
