A key requirement for DD students is the completion of a Global Internship, which is essential for obtaining their dual degree. Students are encouraged to seek positions at organizations from all around the world that align with their interests in global business or international careers, enhancing their international experience

Earning a dual degree from the University of Victoria goes beyond simply acquiring another qualification; it serves as an excellent pathway to finding a place in the realm of international business.
