Bay Street is a short subway ride away, and that closeness shapes the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management. The school occupies a glass-fronted building at 105 St. George Street on U of T's downtown campus. Its best-known graduate programmes are the full-time MBA, the Master of Financial Risk Management and the Master of Management Analytics, while undergraduates study business through Rotman Commerce. The Creative Destruction Lab, a programme for science-based startups, began here.

The building is on St. George Street in the middle of U of T's downtown campus, near the Annex and Kensington Market. St. George and Museum subway stations are a few minutes' walk.
Toronto is Canada's largest city and its financial centre. Rent is high, so many students share apartments further out along the subway lines. Winters are cold, though milder than in much of Canada.

Rotman Commerce applicants apply to U of T through OUAC, usually by mid-January. Graduate programmes admit in rounds from autumn to spring, and international applicants should use the earlier rounds to leave time for the study permit.
Rotman Commerce starts in September. The full-time MBA and the one-year master's programmes start in late summer.
Study permit, applied for through IRCC. You'll upload the acceptance letter from the University of Toronto, an attestation letter if your programme needs one, proof you can pay tuition and living costs, and then give biometrics.
Rotman Commerce, the full-time MBA, the Master of Financial Risk Management and the Master of Management Analytics are popular. Graduate programmes need a strong bachelor's degree, and the MBA also asks for work experience and a GMAT or GRE score. Most international applicants need an English test.
Rotman offers merit scholarships to graduate applicants, including international students, assessed with the application. U of T's Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship is for exceptional first-year undergraduates.
