Our program provides many opportunities for MSc students, to not only attend conferences to enrich their learning and provide networking opportunities, but we also provide opportunities for them to present their research as well. Conferences are an opportunity for students to position themselves as a subject matter expert, encounter new and innovative research, while also providing an opportunity to network with their peers and industry experts.
One such conference opportunity is Brock University’s own annual conference, called Mapping the New Knowledges (MNK). The first MNK conference was held in 2005 as an opportunity to showcase the depth and breadth of research and scholarship being pursued by graduate students in Brock’s academic Faculties. The Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Graduate Students’ Association provide graduate students with the opportunity to connect with researchers and colleagues across faculties and disciplines in a professional, supportive and welcoming setting.
Goodman also sponsors our best and brightest students to attend and present their thesis-related research at various domestic and international conferences.
Students in our MSc program have had great success being published during their master’s program with Goodman. It’s clear that their success, and yours, is due to our invested and hands-on professors. At Goodman, students can expect access to top scholars, engaging and interesting courses, and informative lectures to inspire their research. Our program is designed to give students access to publication opportunities, which will make a strong impression on any PhD admission committee or future employer.

QUOTES FROM SOME OF OUR RECENT ALUMNI
- “ I was interested in marketing research and Goodman stood out to me because of how active its marketing researchers are. Academia has always been a dream for me. I like innovation and technology so researching m-commerce was a natural fit.” – Luciano Lapa (MSc ’18), PhD candidate – Kelley School of Business, Indiana University
- “ My supervisors involved me in projects that have trained me really well. I now understand the research process better and know what to expect from my PhD.” – Ali Anwar (MSc ’18), PhD candidate – Lazaridis School of Business and Economics, Wilfrid Laurier University
- “The MSc program at Goodman is a terrific on-ramp for PhD programs. In 2010, I entered the University of Houston’s PhD program. Five years later, I won the C.T.
