Shape Tomorrow: MBA Innovation Leadership and Consulting from Vancouver, Canada
Build your next chapter without leaving Vancouver. The MBA Innovation Leadership and Consulting, offered online in an exclusive partnership between York St John University and Robert Kennedy College, brings together ideas about innovation, leadership and consulting that can be applied across industries and borders.
Earn an internationally recognised British degree
A British degree can give your achievements a clear academic identity wherever your career takes you. This programme offers the opportunity to earn a degree from York St John University while continuing to live and work in Vancouver.
Whether you hope to grow within your organisation or explore opportunities abroad, an internationally recognised qualification can help you communicate the depth of your management studies to a global audience.
Move forward in as little as one year
The programme can be completed 100% online in as little as one year. You can work towards a substantial academic goal without relocating or putting your life in Vancouver on hold.
That potential pace makes it possible to bring fresh thinking to your work sooner. As you study innovation, leadership and consulting, you can consider how new ideas might inform the decisions and challenges you face today.
Study without fixed online attendance times
You do not need to be online at specific times and dates. Instead of arranging your week around scheduled virtual classes, you can engage with your studies at times that fit your work and personal commitments.
That flexibility can be especially valuable when projects run late, responsibilities change or your schedule crosses time zones. It gives you room to plan consistent study time in a way that works for you.
Take your studies wherever life takes you
Study from Vancouver, elsewhere in Canada or anywhere else in the world with an internet connection. Your learning can travel with you, making it possible to keep progressing when work or life takes you away from home.
The mobile app lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline. You can prepare for a journey in advance, then use time in transit or between commitments to stay connected to your goals without needing a live connection for those downloaded resources.
Show your thinking through open-book assessments
Rather than relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach gives you the opportunity to work with ideas and resources as you develop a response.
For an MBA focused on innovation, leadership and consulting, the ability to examine a problem, weigh perspectives and explain a reasoned approach matters. Open-book assessment offers a way to demonstrate that kind of thinking.
Learn with faculty shaped by world-renowned universities
Your tutors and faculty include graduates of universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their varied academic backgrounds bring a breadth of perspectives to the learning experience.
Engaging with those perspectives can help you question assumptions, strengthen your reasoning and consider more than one route through a leadership or consulting challenge.
Join a genuinely international learning community
Students from more than 130 countries bring different professional and cultural perspectives to the online experience. Learning alongside a diverse cohort can help you see how an idea might be interpreted, challenged or adapted beyond your own workplace.
Alumni work for organisations including Seneca College, Lakehead University, Manulife, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their paths illustrate the range of sectors and organisations represented in the wider learning community.
Plan your payments with interest-free instalments
The programme's fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments across months can make it easier to plan alongside your other commitments.
With a clear payment schedule in mind, you can focus on choosing the right time to begin and making the most of the learning experience ahead.
Connect global thinking with Vancouver's opportunities
Vancouver's technology and digital media sectors offer fertile ground for graduates interested in leading change. From software and gaming to film and visual effects, organisations must continually develop ideas, coordinate teams and respond to shifting markets. The programme's focus on innovation and leadership can help you think more strategically about those challenges.
In a region active in clean technology and life sciences, promising ideas often need careful decisions about development, collaboration and growth. Consulting frameworks can help graduates ask sharper questions, assess options and communicate recommendations when working with teams pursuing new products or services.
Vancouver's position as a Pacific gateway also connects local businesses with international markets through trade, logistics and professional services. For graduates whose ambitions reach beyond one city or country, the programme offers concepts they can carry into cross-border conversations and apply to varied organisational settings.
