Furthermore, you will become proficient in Canada’s two official languages, and in at least one additional modern language (Arabic, Chinese, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish), preparing you for the demands of an internationally oriented career. Just steps from Parliament Hill, in the heart of the nation’s capital, the School benefits from a rich network of contacts developed by its professors and alumni.
