Program overview
The two year artificial intelligence and data analytics diploma with a paid co-operative work term built into the structure, covering the same programming, modelling, machine learning and data management content alongside industry placement.
The co-op is the differentiator and it is worth the additional cost for anyone planning to work in Canada. Analytics employers hire on demonstrated experience with real organisational data, and a documented work term produces exactly that plus the employer references that a portfolio alone cannot.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics Diploma with Co-op is a variant of a programme the institution publishes on its list of eligible programmes under CIP code 30.7101, so the same field of study position applies. Confirm the variant is covered before you rely on it. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics Diploma with Co-op 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 with Co-op in writing before you pay a deposit.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics Diploma with Co-op sits at Grade 12 / High School with 50 percent for entry. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5, and tuition for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics Diploma with Co-op is recorded at CAD 25,204 a year with a CAD 150 application fee. 5 intake windows are listed. Apply Study Visa manages the Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics Diploma with Co-op application, the attestation letter, the deposit and the study permit as one process.
