MSc Digital Business: Grow from Vancouver, Canada

Build your next chapter without leaving Vancouver. The MSc Digital Business, offered online in exclusive partnership between the University of Salford and Robert Kennedy College, brings postgraduate study into your life wherever it takes you. Explore ideas and approaches you can apply across industries and international markets.

Earn a British degree with international recognition

Graduate with a British degree awarded by the University of Salford. It is a qualification you can present as you pursue opportunities in Canada and around the world.

For a digital business career that may cross borders, an internationally recognised degree can help you communicate the level and focus of your postgraduate study to employers and professional contacts.

Study 100% online—in as little as one year

Complete the programme entirely online, with no need to relocate from Vancouver or travel to a campus. Your studies can fit alongside the place, people and commitments that matter to you.

The programme can be completed in as little as one year. That gives you a route to develop your knowledge and move towards your next goal while continuing to build your life and career.

Learn without scheduled online attendance

You do not need to be online at specific times and dates. Whether your most productive hours are early mornings, evenings or somewhere in between, you can engage with your studies when it works for you.

This flexibility can be especially valuable when work and family commitments change from week to week. You can plan your learning around your schedule while still meeting the programme’s academic requirements and deadlines.

Take your studies wherever you go

Your classroom can travel with you—from Vancouver to another city or country. The online format lets you keep learning while travelling or on the move.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. Prepare for a trip in advance, then make good use of time even when you do not have an internet connection.

Show how you apply what you learn

Rather than relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. You can draw on learning resources as you work through your assessments.

That approach gives you room to demonstrate how you analyse ideas and use them to address questions. It is an opportunity to develop the considered thinking that digital business decisions demand.

Learn from internationally educated faculty

Study with tutors and faculty who have graduated from world-renowned universities, including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Their varied academic backgrounds bring a breadth of perspectives to your learning. As you examine digital business concepts, you can benefit from guidance shaped by experience across different educational traditions.

Join a global learning community

Connect with a diverse student base representing more than 130 countries. Studying alongside people with different professional and cultural perspectives can help you consider how digital business ideas work across borders.

Alumni work for organisations including Google, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony, IBM, Verizon, Dell, Seneca College, Lakehead University, Manulife, the United Nations, the ICRC and the World Bank.

Plan your payments with flexibility

Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time can make it easier to plan your study costs alongside your other commitments.

With a clear payment schedule, you can focus on making the most of your learning and the opportunities you want to pursue after graduation.

Put digital business thinking to work in Vancouver

Vancouver’s technology sector offers a setting in which to apply digital business thinking. Whether your interests lie in software, digital services or emerging technologies, the programme can help you examine how organisations create value, adapt and make decisions in changing markets.

The city’s film, animation, gaming and digital media industries also depend on reaching audiences through evolving platforms and business models. A broader understanding of digital business can help you think about how creative products are developed, delivered and experienced internationally.

Vancouver’s connections to Pacific trade, logistics and clean technology create further possibilities for applying what you learn. You might explore how digital approaches can improve services, connect organisations across markets or support new ways of working—while building skills you can carry beyond Vancouver.
