Program overview
A two year diploma covering programming for data, statistics and modelling, machine learning methods, data management and pipelines, visualisation and the applied use of artificial intelligence in organisational settings.
This is one of the newer and more commercially relevant diplomas in the catalogue, aimed squarely at the analyst and applied machine learning roles that Canadian employers are hiring for. A co-op version is offered alongside it, and for anyone intending to work in Canada the co-op version is worth the additional cost.
The institution publishes CIP code 30.7101 for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics Diploma on its own list of programmes aligned to the eligible field of study requirement, so the programme meets that requirement. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics Diploma with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics Diploma in writing before you pay a deposit.
