Leading organizations understand the value of great leaders.

Having the right people on your team makes all the difference. Your organization gains a strategic advantage when you hire experienced industry professionals who can bridge the gap between technical or front line challenges and broader business goals. 

These are the people who add value – who can communicate with both technical and business teams, lead interdisciplinary projects, develop strategy, guide innovation and deliver sustainable growth. 

If you’re looking to add depth and breadth to your organization, your next hire should be a graduate of the Master of Engineering Leadership (MEL) or Master of Health and Leadership and Policy (MHLP). These unique sector-specific professional degrees bridge the gap between technical-focused and business-focused education, equipping graduates to navigate complex challenges. 

Great leaders hire great leaders

Our graduates are experienced professionals who have already proven themselves in their careers, often in a wide range of national and international settings. 

On average, students have five to seven years of professional experience before joining us at UBC. Students take sector-specific courses in their industry area along with courses in business leadership from UBC Sauder’s Robert H. Lee Graduate School  — recently ranked #1 in Canada for Business by Maclean’s.

If you are looking for problem-solving, critical thinking and collaborative leaders, our graduates should be at the top of your short list. MEL and MHLP alumni are leading cross-functional teams and driving innovation and transformation in their industries.
