Student Experience
Enhancing education outside the classroom
Through our programs and partnerships, we educate students to be skilled, prepared and capable of thriving anywhere in the world. Simultaneously, we contribute to the enhancement of our neighboring cities and communities, creating environments where our graduates are not only inclined to work but also eager to stay. The integration of best-in-class courses with hands-on experience gives students the tools needed to thrive. Real-world problems and cases empower 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.
Student Consulting Group
The School of Business Consulting Group pairs students with local businesses and organizations to solve real-world problems with a fresh perspective and a keen eye on profitability. Recently, our consultants have been tasked with facilitating the Digital Economy Program providing personalized digital support to small businesses.
To date, the School of Business Consulting Group has:
- worked with 1,500 businesses to become more profitable
- served our business community with over 10,000 hours of service.
Career Development
We collaborate closely with industry experts and leverage the expertise of our dedicated career service team to ensure that our students are well-prepared and positioned for success in their career placements.
Some of these opportunities include:
- Cooperative opportunities and internships
- Case competitions
- Conferences (International Council of Shopping Centers conference)
- Mentorship with the Centre’s team of experts
These opportunities make the student's academic experience one of a kind and applicable to their choice of career.
