What are International Case Competitions?
The International Case Competitions (ICC) program offers Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) students the opportunity to represent the University in prestigious global business case competitions. For over two decades, the Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE) has proudly sponsored students to compete against the world's best.
Through an intensive summer training program, you will develop the consulting and presentation skills needed to excel on the world stage. With support from ICC alumni from leading consulting firms and investment banks, and guidance from senior FBE academics, you will receive practical training through workshops, practice cases and mentoring. At the conclusion of the program, you will join the ICC Alumni Network.
