  • Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
  • Work permit: College Diploma - Digital Design, Web Design is a two year college 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.
