    Case Competitions

    Our students take what they've learned in the classroom and put that knowledge into action through various case competitions.

    Case competitions give students the opportunity to solve real-world problems and build on business skills they will require in their careers once they complete their studies at Laurier. 

    “What really interested me in joining the Laurier Case Team was the community aspect of the team – I am so lucky to build friendships with some of the brightest students at Laurier.”
    Kyle Chang, fourth-year BBA/BMath double-degree student.
