We celebrate women enrolling in MBA studies. In many ways, women face unique challenges in academia and business and we strive to remove those barriers. As you consider an Ivey MBA, we want you to know that you belong here.
Support
Ivey’s MBA program is exceptionally supportive and collaborative in nature. We offer help with recruitment and applications, moving to and living in London (especially for those with families and partners), and career support from our Career Management team.
Timing
There is no right timing. Generally speaking, women tend to discount themselves and self-select out. At Ivey Business School, we encourage women to recognize their skills and prioritize their career goals. For those with families, we realize it can feel overwhelming to displace your loved ones for a one-year MBA in London. We offer plenty of support to help with the transition.
Money
Women tend to struggle with putting themselves first, especially ones with partners and children. We recognize the investment of both time and money that goes into an MBA. And it is exactly that, an investment in your future to build the career you desire. To help, we offer plenty of scholarship opportunities.

Living in London
Affectionately known as The Forest City, London is a great place to call home, even if it’s only for a year. You don’t need to be in Toronto to find career success. Living in a smaller city allows for a strong sense of community amongst our MBA students, creating lifelong friendships.
"A lot of business students tend to try to fit themselves into this cookie cutter mold and become somebody else, but Ivey tells you how to shine in your own colour."
