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 accepting under 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 fall through Virtual Internships or Placements. Students will work together in groups of 2 or more.

Students trained in:

• Accounting and investment theory

• Business, government, and non-profit policy analysis
• Cost-benefit analysis
• Empirical research methodologies
• International trade
• Processes and issues in economic development

Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the project. These could include, but are not limited to:

• A report summarizing the dataset, its assessment, and presenting strategy and action recommendations
• A presentation and slide deck summarizing the research findings and arguing the value of the recommended strategy and action plans
