Program overview
A four year degree combining agricultural science with data and technology, covering agronomy and production systems, agricultural data management, sensors and automation, analytics and decision support, and a four month internship.
This is the strongest single programme in the catalogue for an international applicant, and for three reasons. It is a full four year degree, so it carries automatic work permit standing without a field of study check. It runs on the campus Smart Farm, which is commercial scale research infrastructure that very few institutions anywhere can match. And digital agriculture is a field where global demand is expanding faster than the supply of trained graduates.
Bachelor of Digital Agriculture is a degree, so it is exempt from the field of study requirement entirely and no CIP code check applies. The code recorded here, 01.1102, is for your reference only. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Digital Agriculture with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Bachelor of Digital Agriculture in writing before you pay a deposit.
