Program details
Overview
A blended graduate certificate on doing business in the Asia Pacific, built around three online courses plus a 12-day residency in Asia. Students examine the growing influence of Asia-Pacific organizations on world markets, the movement of investment and talent into and out of the region, and how to build durable business relationships in Canada and overseas. Coursework also compares the economic, political and cultural conditions of major Asia Pacific countries against Canadian business practice. The certificate suits professionals building a global network or preparing to lead overseas ventures. Nine credits transfer into the Royal Roads MBA, and it can also be completed as an MBA specialization.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Standard admission requires a four-year (or comparable) undergraduate degree from a recognized post-secondary institution plus at least five years of full-time relevant work experience, including three years at a management level. Flexible admission instead requires at least ten years of full-time relevant work experience, including five years at a management level. Applicants submit a two-to-three-page statement of intent, a detailed resume, two reference letters (one work-based, one academic or community-service-based) and official transcripts; international credentials require evaluation, and no minimum GPA is stated. English-language proficiency defers to Royal Roads' general requirement for third-year entry and graduate programs: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (minimum 6.5 in writing and speaking, 6.0 in listening and reading) or TOEFL iBT 88 overall (minimum 24 writing, 20 in listening, reading and speaking).
Application Details
Application Deadline:Royal Roads University sets no single university-wide deadline: domestic and international applicants apply directly to the university through the same process, and every programme page checked shows one identical deadline for both. RRU consistently closes a programme's application exactly three calendar months before that programme's own intake start date — a September 2027 intake typically closes 7 June 2027 — though a few programmes (the Master of Global Management, for example) use a six-month lead instead. Each programme lists its own upcoming intakes, running from 2026 into 2028 depending on the programme, and RRU says it may still accept a late application if space and processing time remain, but it publishes no separate international deadline and no institution-wide equal-consideration or rolling policy. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
