Program overview
The Graduate Certificate in Full Stack Software Development at Lambton College's Ottawa campus is a two-year post-graduate certificate that gives you an applied, career-focused education in this field.
This graduate certificate builds full-stack software development skills — front-end and back-end development, databases, web frameworks, APIs and modern engineering practices — through hands-on, portfolio-building projects, concluding with a work term for eligible students. Software development skills are in strong, sustained demand worldwide. Graduates work as full-stack, web and application developers and software engineers across technology and business.
Delivered at Lambton College's Ottawa campus (the Centre for Graduate Studies at Saint Paul University) — a collaboration between two public institutions, so unlike Lambton's Toronto and Mississauga partner campuses it is PGWP-capable. This program is on Lambton's official PGWP-Ready list (CIP 11.0201), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; the final decision rests with IRCC. Confirm the live intake, as Ottawa availability is currently limited.
Graduates are well placed for roles such as Full-Stack Developer, Web/Application Developer and Software Developer, gaining a mix of theory, applied projects and real Canadian experience in the capital's strong job market.
Beyond technical knowledge, you will build the communication, teamwork and leadership skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.
