Edinburgh Partner Schools: Toronto

The Schulich school of Business was ranked 25th by the FT and the Economist and it is one of the top graduate programs available in Canada. The school is situated in Toronto, Canada, and it is its financial capital. Within close proximity to three large financial centres of Toronto, Boston and New York it is not surprising that one of Schulich strengths is in the area of Finance. Students from Edinburgh are expected to take four courses.

and teamwork focussing on real life application, and learning from interaction
with international peers.
