Program overview
A thirteen month university diploma in travel and tourism, covering destination geography, tourism operations, reservations systems, customer service, event coordination and industry placement.
University Diploma - Travel and Tourism is recorded at CAD 45,540, by a wide margin the highest fee in this entire import, for a thirteen month non degree credential.
University Diploma - Travel and Tourism is taught at MacEwan University in downtown Edmonton, Alberta. MacEwan is a public university, which matters here: at a PUBLIC institution the Canadian field of study requirement applies only to non degree credentials, and University Diploma - Travel and Tourism is a thirteen month university diploma rather than a degree. Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility for University Diploma - Travel and Tourism therefore depends on the programme sitting in an eligible field when you apply, and that list is revised. Confirm it in writing before you pay a deposit. The study permit application for University Diploma - Travel and Tourism also requires an Alberta attestation letter.
Candidates for University Diploma - Travel and Tourism present Grade 12 or Class 12 at 65 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for University Diploma - Travel and Tourism is recorded at CAD 45,540 a year with a CAD 110 application fee. No scholarship is recorded against University Diploma - Travel and Tourism. University Diploma - Travel and Tourism lists three September entry windows, in 2026, 2027 and 2028. Apply Study Visa manages the University Diploma - Travel and Tourism application, the deposit, the letter of acceptance and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or Class 12 at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 86 with at least 21 in every section; PTE Academic 59 with 56 in every component; or the Duolingo English Test at 115.
- Application and deposit: An application fee of CAD 110 applies, the same on all 38 programmes. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Work permit: University Diploma - Travel and Tourism is a thirteen month university diploma rather than a degree, so the Canadian field of study test applies and Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility must be confirmed in writing for your intake before you commit. No spousal open work permit arises, because that needs a master programme of 16 months or longer and MacEwan awards none. An Alberta attestation letter is required with the study permit application.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa handles the Alberta attestation letter, the study permit application and the biometrics appointment with you.
