The UBC Master of Engineering Leadership (MEL) and Master of Health and Leadership and Policy (MHLP) are unique, one-year professional degrees that strengthen practising professionals’ sector-specific technical skills while advancing their business and leadership expertise.
As a result, you get professionals with on average 5-7 years of experience who are natural integrators. Graduates from the MHLP and MEL programs combine their industry experience with learnings from the program to expertly help you manage people and projects.
Developed in collaboration with the UBC Sauder’s Robert H. Lee Graduate School — recently ranked #1 in Canada for Business by Maclean’s — the MEL and MHLP programs are uniquely multidisciplinary. Currently, there is no other full-time graduate program in Canada that offers this blend of technical specialization and master’s-level business training.
MHLP graduates are trained by world-renowned faculty in a collaborative research environment that prioritizes experiential learning opportunities at the clinical and community levels.
Trained by a globally recognized field in the school of advanced materials manufacturing, AMM graduates are skilled professionals for aerospace, automotive, and other high tech manufacturing industries.
