Program overview

A two year university diploma in business management, covering accounting fundamentals, marketing, organisational behaviour, business communication and applied management practice.

University Diploma - Business Management is recorded at CAD 26,400, more than the Bachelor of Commerce at CAD 24,000, which is worth pausing over before you choose the shorter route.

University Diploma - Business Management is taught at MacEwan University in downtown Edmonton, Alberta. MacEwan is a public university, which matters here: at a PUBLIC institution the Canadian field of study requirement applies only to non degree credentials, and University Diploma - Business Management is a two year university diploma rather than a degree. Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility for University Diploma - Business Management therefore depends on the programme sitting in an eligible field when you apply, and that list is revised. Confirm it in writing before you pay a deposit. The study permit application for University Diploma - Business Management also requires an Alberta attestation letter.

Candidates for University Diploma - Business Management present Grade 12 or Class 12 at 65 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for University Diploma - Business Management is recorded at CAD 26,400 a year with a CAD 110 application fee. No scholarship is recorded against University Diploma - Business Management. University Diploma - Business Management lists five entry windows across September and January to 2028. Apply Study Visa manages the University Diploma - Business Management application, the deposit, the letter of acceptance and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements

Who can apply (guide for international students):

  • Education: Grade 12 or Class 12 at the percentage stated for this programme.
  • English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 86 with at least 21 in every section; PTE Academic 59 with 56 in every component; or the Duolingo English Test at 115.
  • Application and deposit: An application fee of CAD 110 applies, the same on all 38 programmes. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
  • Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
  • Work permit: University Diploma - Business Management is a two year university diploma rather than a degree, so the Canadian field of study test applies and Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility must be confirmed in writing for your intake before you commit. No spousal open work permit arises, because that needs a master programme of 16 months or longer and MacEwan awards none. An Alberta attestation letter is required with the study permit application.
  • Study permit: Apply Study Visa handles the Alberta attestation letter, the study permit application and the biometrics appointment with you.

  • Sales Coordinator: commercial teams
  • Operations Assistant: service and logistics firms
