On January 31, the Masters Office hosted the annual Desautels Cup. The event brought together nine teams from the MBA, Master of Management in Analytics and Master of Management in Finance programs and welcomed back MBA and Executive MBA alumni as distinguished judges.


Graduates of the Desautels Faculty of Management’s specialized masters programs are in high demand these days. As tech and AI companies flock to cities like Montreal and Toronto, they look for candidates with the type of practical experience that students receive at McGill. Shoeb Hosain, Program Director of McGill’s Master of Management in Analytics (MMA), explains the unique advantages of specializing at Desautels.

As core to the Master of Management in Analytics (MMA) program, the EXP Analytics Consulting module has MMA students working alongside industry professionals over a 10-month period solving a significant Data & Analytics problem, aimed to boost the client’s top or bottom lines.
