Program overview
A one year post-baccalaureate certificate for existing degree holders, covering programming for data, machine learning methods, data management and pipelines, visualisation and the applied deployment of analytics in organisations.
The route suits a graduate in any discipline who wants applied data skills without a second full degree, and the content is deliberately practical rather than research oriented. A co-op version is offered alongside it, and for anyone intending to work in Canada that version deserves serious consideration.
The institution publishes CIP code 30.7101 for Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics on its own list of programmes aligned to the eligible field of study requirement, so the programme meets that requirement. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics with a partner should plan on a single income.

- Machine Learning Assistant: applied model development
- Business Intelligence Developer: reporting and dashboards
- Data Engineer: pipeline and infrastructure work
