The UBC Bachelor +
Master of Management
Dual Degree

Study what you love

The UBC Bachelor + Master of Management
Dual Degree (B+MM Dual Degree) gives you the best of
both worlds: study what you love and discover how to turn
your passion into a profession with valuable business skills
taught by professors at the UBC Sauder School of Business’
Robert H. Lee Graduate School.
Whether you have a passion for the fine arts and dream
of running a gallery, are studying kinesiology and aim to
set up your own practice, or want to climb the corporate
ladder at a company that reflects your interests, you’ll
need to know the fundamentals of business. From
marketing and HR to sales and operations, the B+MM
Dual Degree will give you the knowledge and practical
skills you need to get the career you want.

One program. Two degrees. Learn from diverse classmates

From the start of the program in your Third Year at UBC,
you take business courses that count towards your Master
of Management degree, while continuing with your
undergraduate studies. After finishing your undergraduate
degree, you focus on Master of Management courses
for six months, graduating with both a Bachelor’s and
a Master’s degree from UBC Sauder’s Robert H. Lee
Graduate School. See Page 6 for the program journey.
You’ll be in the unique position of studying with top
students from across UBC. Imagine collaborating on
a business plan project with a Math major who has stellar
quantitative skills, getting inspired by the creative genius
of a Fine Arts student, and learning from the analytical
mind of a Psychology major. This will be your learning
environment from day 1 of the program.
Become career-ready
UBC Sauder is here to help you make the most of your
career potential. From your entry into the program until
graduation, we provide career development support,
including effective networking, resume writing, personal
and professional development, job search techniques,
and mock interview practice.
Are you the right fit?
The program attracts top students from across UBC who
are ambitious, have fresh perspectives and are always
looking to set the bar higher.
As such, we have a rigorous selection process to find the
right candidates who are best suited for the UBC Bachelor
+ Master of Management Dual Degree.

Turn Your Passion
Into a Profession
Business skills are transferable to any career, which is why they are highly
valued by employers. Understanding and experiencing how ideas are
marketed, how organizations are managed, how businesses produce and
deliver products and services, and how technology integrates with business
and society will help you build a successful career in any sector.
Here’s a sample of some of the courses* in the program:

Marketing Fundamentals in Entrepreneurship

Marketing is important to the success of business. Gain
a thorough foundation in marketing principles to help
you plan and execute a successful marketing strategy.
You’ll learn how to understand and design marketing
programs, analyze the competition and assess the
profitability of products and service offerings.
Ever dreamed about starting your own business?
Gain a solid understanding of what it takes to be
an entrepreneur, how to spot and make the most
of opportunities, and understand the process of
starting a new venture.

Corporate Finance
Get an introduction into the world of corporate
finance—how and why companies make investments
and the factors that influence their decisions. You’ll
learn about determining the value of an investment,
measuring investment costs and benefits, and how
investments are financed.
Two-Party Negotiations
Analytical skills are required to develop solutions,
and negotiation skills are critical to create buy-in
for these solutions to be implemented. Through
simulations, you’ll discover which negotiation
approaches work well and which don’t, giving
you the opportunity to improve your own skills.

Operations and Logistics

How do organizations efficiently deliver products
or services to their customers? You’ll get a broad
overview of the logistics field, including manufacturing
processes, supply and distribution problems, application
of management tools and the principles in solving
common logistics challenges.

Gain Valuable
Business Skills
The B+MM Dual Degree gives you the business skills you need to
gain a competitive edge in the job market. Practical opportunities
to apply your business education include:
Consult with a local business
Through the Community Business Project, you will have the opportunity to gain consulting
experience while applying your new skills to solve a business problem for not-for-profit organizations
and social enterprises. This project enables you to work as part of a team, consulting directly with a
local organization to solve a real-life business challenge. Our students have worked on a wide range
of projects such as:
• Business plans and feasibility studies
• Fundraising and development initiatives
• Recruitment and retention strategies
Here is a recently completed consulting project:

Introducing sustainably farmed Kenyan tea into international markets

JusTea, a not-for-profit organization that helps Kenyan farmers become sustainable tea producers.
Students were tasked with identifying these new target markets, and eventually developed a sales
database and established relationships with potential buyers and like-minded businesses.

Capstone Develop critical thinking skills

During the Master of Management portion of the B+MM
Dual Degree, students will test their newly acquired skills
and knowledge in an intensive business simulation at the
end of the program. With the support of faculty, students
will work together in groups, using their business acumen
and leadership skills to solve a significant business
challenge under real-world time pressure.
Our courses are built around active learning,
which means enabling you to showcase and
develop your analytical and problem-solving
skills through presentations, case analyses and
in-class discussions.
