Student goals and capabilities

The Vancouver School of Economics (VSE) is consistently ranked the top economics school in Canada and among the top 25 worldwide. Students from more than 50 countries learn from leading experts in economics, finance and international trade.

The Bachelor of International Economics (BIE) program is a rigorous direct entry program that accepts less than 4% of applicants with core courses in economics, finance, and mathematics from the VSE and UBC Sauder School of Business.

We are offering interested companies the opportunity to work with our students this summer through Virtual Internships or Placements. Students will work together in groups of 2 or more.
