\"Montreal<\/figure>\n

If you’re considering getting an MBA in Canada, there are lots of great options. Here, we dive into the details of The University of Montreal’s Desautels Faculty of Management. <\/p>\n

The What<\/h2>\n

Montreal does things a little bit differently. Maybe it\u2019s the
\ncity\u2019s large Francophone population or maybe it\u2019s their amazing bagels, but
\nCanada\u2019s second city feels like a small slice of Europe in the heart of North
\nAmerica.<\/p>\n

This Old World flair is reflected in Desautels\u2019<\/a> extremely tightknit (some might say exclusive!) class of only 70-90 students\u2014an opportunity for anyone admitted and a competitive barrier for applicants. The school\u2019s graduates primarily stick to Montreal or Toronto for work, with a combined 80% of graduates finding work in one of these two cities. Maybe it\u2019s because they\u2019ve forgotten what warm weather feels like? Or they learn to love Canada?<\/p>\n

Finally, although the graduating class mostly stays in Canada, Montreal is a decent starting point to find employment with a European company. Many Old World, and particularly French, firms use Montreal as an American home base. It\u2019s also a solid choice for those interested in honing their French, though the accent is substantially different from the metropolitan variety.<\/p>\n

The Who<\/h2>\n

The Desautels student body reflects the broader Montreal melting pot: 20% of the intake\u2019s mother tongue is French, with 40% speaking primarily English while the rest come from various backgrounds. China, France, and India are the top three sources of international students. Those students will have no difficulty communicating, however: 95% percent of students are bilingual, and a whopping two-thirds are trilingual. <\/p>\n

In terms of background, engineering is well-represented (35%),
\nas is accounting and finance. Graduates go on to achieve solid placements,
\nthough the schools higher on this list achieved slightly better salaries.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line <\/h2>\n

Although it isn\u2019t as focused on international placements, McGill\u2019s Desautels School of Management is an exclusive, tightknit program that\u2019s an ideal launching pad for a career in Canada. <\/p>\n
