Program overview
A four year degree in applied computing with an internship option, covering programming, networks, databases, systems administration, cyber security fundamentals and a capstone project.
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology sits in Vancouver, which has the largest concentration of technology employers in western Canada.
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology is taught at the Vancouver campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University, a Designated Learning Institution with the number O19227134842. This matters more than it may appear. Because Bachelor of Science in Information Technology is a degree rather than a college diploma or certificate, it is exempt from the federal field of study requirement introduced in November 2024, which restricts post-graduation work permits after non-degree programmes. Subject does not matter for a degree. A British Columbia provincial attestation letter is still required alongside the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology study permit application.
Applicants to Bachelor of Science in Information Technology need Class 12 or equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for Bachelor of Science in Information Technology is recorded at CAD 22,920. A CAD 145 application fee applies, and no scholarship is recorded against Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. Bachelor of Science in Information Technology lists seven entry windows a cycle, across September, January and May starts. Apply Study Visa manages your Bachelor of Science in Information Technology application, the deposit, the letter of acceptance, the provincial attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
