Program overview

The Interactive Media Management – Creative Technologies graduate certificate is a one-year postgraduate program in emerging interactive and immersive media production.

Content covers interactive design and user experience for immersive media, creative coding and prototyping, augmented and virtual reality development, real-time engines and interactive 3D, projection mapping and installation technology, physical computing and sensor-driven interaction, motion graphics and animation for interactive contexts, digital storytelling, and project management for creative technology productions. Work is studio and project based.

The market for this sits in experiential marketing, museums and exhibitions, live events and brand activations — sectors that commission immersive work regularly and struggle to find people who can both design an experience and build it. The management framing in the title is meaningful: the program targets people who can run creative technology projects, not just execute components.

Humber Polytechnic — formerly Humber College — is Ontario’s largest public college and a Designated Learning Institution (DLI O19376943122). The North campus in Etobicoke is its main site, running technology, engineering, health science, business and skilled trades programs in purpose-built labs and shops rather than lecture halls, with three intakes a year and the deepest employer network in the Greater Toronto Area.

Its field maps to CIP 10.0304 (Animation, interactive technology and video graphics). Important: this is a college credential rather than a degree, so it is not exempt from the November 2024 PGWP field-of-study restriction — eligibility depends on this CIP field appearing on IRCC’s eligible list when you apply. Humber publishes a PGWP-eligible program list with CIP codes; check it, and confirm with an Apply Study Visa counsellor before committing. IRCC makes the final decision.

Admission requirements

Who can apply (guide for international students):

  • Education: A completed 2-year undergraduate diploma or higher from a recognised institution, with a minimum 50% overall.
  • IELTS: Overall 6.5, no band below 6.0
  • TOEFL iBT: Total 88
  • PTE Academic: Overall 61
  • Duolingo: 125
  • GRE/GMAT: Not required.

Application fee $100 CAD, plus an initial tuition deposit of $2,000 CAD — Humber will not request your Ontario Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) until that deposit clears, so deposit timing drives your study-permit timeline. Admissions run on a rolling basis and popular programs fill months ahead under Canada’s international seat caps. Ask an Apply Study Visa counsellor to confirm current fees, seats and PGWP status before applying.
