Program overview
A two year post baccalaureate diploma in digital marketing, covering search and paid media, analytics and measurement, content strategy, marketing automation and applied campaign work.
Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Digital Marketing is priced at CAD 21,657 and, like the other diplomas here, is subject to the Canadian field of study test rather than the degree exemption that bachelor and master programmes enjoy. That single distinction should drive the decision between this diploma and a master level alternative if staying in Canada is the goal.
Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Digital Marketing is taught at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, a designated learning institution in Nova Scotia. Because Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Digital Marketing is a diploma and not a degree, the Canadian field of study requirement applies to it, which means the Post-Graduation Work Permit depends on the programme sitting inside an eligible field at the time you apply. That list changes, so eligibility for Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Digital Marketing must be confirmed in writing before you pay a deposit rather than assumed from this page. The study permit application for Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Digital Marketing also requires a Provincial Attestation Letter.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A four year bachelor degree as recorded in the governing feed. The cross check source states that a three year degree such as a BTech or BE is also considered for this programme, so have your transcript assessed rather than assuming you are excluded.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, PTE Academic 60 overall with no component below 50, or TOEFL iBT 90 with at least 20 in every section. The Duolingo English Test is not accepted.
- Application and deposit: An application fee of CAD 100 applies. An initial tuition deposit of CAD 1,000 is required to confirm the seat and trigger the letter of acceptance.
- Scholarship: No entrance scholarship is recorded for this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Work permit: Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Digital Marketing is a diploma rather than a degree, so the Canadian field of study requirement applies and Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility must be confirmed in writing before you commit. A Provincial Attestation Letter is required with the study permit application, and a spouse cannot apply for an open work permit on this programme.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa handles the provincial attestation letter, the study permit application and the biometrics appointment with you.
