Student Experience

The Sobey School difference is connecting you with the ecosystem. 

From day one, you’ll be immersed in Atlantic Canada’s innovation ecosystem, not just learning about it, but experiencing it firsthand. Through curated ecosystem tours, you’ll engage with leading organizations, founders, and innovation hubs, gaining early exposure to the people and spaces driving innovation in the region. 

These experiences help you start building meaningful connections from the very beginning.

Innovation Challenges 

You’ll have opportunities to work on real challenges facing communities and businesses across Nova Scotia. You may take part in initiatives where you develop and pitch solutions grounded in real-world data and community needs. These experiences give you the chance to present your ideas, compete for funding, and potentially bring your solutions to life.

Networking & Social Experiences

Some of the best parts of the program happen outside the classroom. Through socials and networking events, you’ll get to meet industry professionals, our world class faculty, Alumni and fellow graduate students. Over time, these moments turn into relationships, opportunities, and a network you can lean on long after the program ends.
