Student experience
Enhancing education outside the classroom
Through our programs and partnerships, we educate students to be skilled, prepared, and capable or working anywhere in the world, while at the same time elevating our nearby cities and communities to be places graduates will want to stay and work in. The merging of best-in-class courses with hands-on experience gives students the opportunity to thrive. Real-world problems and cases enable us to translate cross-disciplinary academic knowledge into practical decision-making.
How to Get Involved
University of Alberta Real Estate Club
We hold a high volume of events that have consistently sold out. These events are known for their exceptionally high corporate-to-student ratio, meaning more networking opportunities for the students. These events can range from industry networking events to career panels of professionals from various sectors of the industry. Most students who join find opportunities to work in the industry after graduation.
