Total Tuition & Financial Breakdown

Financing an international degree requires careful planning. UBC operates on a per-installment tuition structure rather than charging by individual credit hours for this specific cohort, making your financial planning highly predictable.
‍

Financial Planning Tip: Beyond tuition, international students should budget approximately CAD 15,000 to CAD 20,000 per year for living expenses in Kelowna, covering housing, utilities, groceries, and local transit.

Program Structure: Choose Your Pathway

The MM program understands that modern professionals need flexible learning options. UBC Okanagan offers two distinct pathways tailored to your current lifestyle and career commitments.

• The Full-Time Stream (12 Months): This is an accelerated, fully immersive on-campus experience. It is ideal for recent graduates and international students who want to complete their degree quickly and transition straight into the Canadian workforce.
• The Part-Time Stream (12–25 Months): Designed for working professionals, this hybrid delivery model blends flexible online modules with three mandatory, one-week intensive in-person sessions on the beautiful Kelowna campus.

To graduate, students in both streams must successfully complete a minimum of 32 academic credits.

Applied Learning: The Capstone Experience

UBC Okanagan completely replaces the traditional, academic-heavy thesis with a hands-on, real-world Capstone Project. This serves as your professional launchpad into the Canadian business ecosystem.

During the capstone, you are placed directly into a consulting team to work with real corporate partners, tech startups, or local non-profit organizations. Your team is tasked with identifying actual operational bottlenecks, analyzing financial or marketing inefficiencies, and building a comprehensive strategic solution.

The project concludes with a formal presentation to the organization's executive board. This experience gives you a concrete, high-value consulting project to feature on your resume, paving the way for post-graduation career opportunities.
