"I picked Royal Roads University because the Master in Global Management fulfilled the academic requirements for my chosen field, international development. After starting my classes, I realized this school, and the program, was so much more than I ever expected: the class sizes were small, the teachers had industry experience and the students came from all over the world. In my cohort, a small and diverse group of students from North America, India and Africa, it was fascinating and rewarding to dissect cases based not just on personal perspectives, but also cultural backgrounds. I’ve come away from the MGM program with an increased sensitivity and understanding towards others. 

The campus, with views of the ocean and mountains, is perfect for those moments when you’re completely stressed out by schoolwork. And I love how the Learning and Innovation building, built with student convenience and the environment in mind, have kitchens on every floor, are sustainable and provide opportunities to compost and recycle (an important reminder of the triple bottom line). If you’re looking to get international experience and want to enroll in a program that prepares you for the workforce, the MGM is the way to go. This is one of the best things you can do.”
