Sauder School of Business
Based at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver campus, UBC Sauder School of Business boasts one of the most international faculty and student bodies in North America. Our school ranks #1 in Canada for Business Administration in the ARWU Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2020, and is the only Canadian school in the prestigious Global Network for Advanced Management.
At UBC Sauder we challenge our students to think about the big problems – climate change, inequality, globalization – and graduate them with the knowledge and skills to play a role in solving the world’s challenges.
With the launch of the Peter P. Dhillon Centre for Business Ethics in 2015, UBC Sauder became the only Canadian business school taking a focused and comprehensive approach to business ethics teaching, research and outreach. Woven throughout our core curriculum, students are pushed to consider ethics, social and environmental responsibility as essential components to business strategy.
It is this philosophy of creating positive impact that will help us achieve our vision of collectively building a more just, sustainable and prosperous world through innovation and responsible leadership.
