Welcome!

As director of the Lazaridis Master of Finance program at Wilfrid Laurier University, I’d like to encourage you to explore the possibility of advancing your career and expanding your financial knowledge through one of our programs.

It’s an exciting time to join the finance profession or take the next step in your finance career. Relying on the latest research, cutting-edge tools and programs, and outstanding faculty instructors, you’ll benefit from the Lazaridis School’s unique combination of engaging classroom instruction and challenging experiential learning opportunities built into our curriculum.

We have several locations and formats designed to suit your needs whether you’ve recently graduated from university or are a working professional balancing a busy work and home life.

Waterloo: Full-time

  • Delivered in the heart of Canada’s best technology ecosystem, our full-time option takes 12 months to complete.

Waterloo: Full-time with Co-op

  • Add two four-month co-op work terms in the financial sector to your studies and graduate in 20 months.

Toronto: Part-time, Alternate Weekends

  • Designed for professionals already working in the Canadian banking or finance industry, our part-time option gives you the flexibility to balance a job and home life while earning your degree at your own pace. Most students complete the program in 1.5 years with summers off.

Toronto: MFin + MBA Double Degree

  • This option is for our most ambitious students who want the general business leadership skills earned through an MBA combined with a professional finance master’s degree. Offered only in Toronto, this degree is delivered part-time on alternating weekends and takes around four years to complete.

I invite you to explore our website and to reach out to one of our helpful graduate recruiters if you have any questions. Brenda or Danish can be reached here.

When you’re ready to take the first step in your application, submit a request for a one-on-one pre-assessment to see if the Lazaridis Master of Finance program is right for you.

We’re looking forward to connecting with you and welcoming you into the Lazaridis MFin community!
