Program overview
A two year post baccalaureate diploma in running enterprise technology, covering IT service management, systems architecture, cloud infrastructure, security governance and technology project delivery.
Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Enterprise IT Management is a diploma rather than a degree, which matters a great deal in Canada for work permit purposes and is set out in the work permit section below. It suits graduates who hold a technical or business first degree and want the management layer on top of it, and the two year structure gives room for that shift.
Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Enterprise IT Management is taught at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, a designated learning institution in Nova Scotia. Because Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Enterprise IT Management is a diploma and not a degree, the Canadian field of study requirement applies to it, which means the Post-Graduation Work Permit depends on the programme sitting inside an eligible field at the time you apply. That list changes, so eligibility for Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Enterprise IT Management must be confirmed in writing before you pay a deposit rather than assumed from this page. The study permit application for Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Enterprise IT Management also requires a Provincial Attestation Letter.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):

- Application and deposit: An application fee of CAD 100 applies. An initial tuition deposit of CAD 1,000 is required to confirm the seat and trigger the letter of acceptance.
- Scholarship: No entrance scholarship is recorded for this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Work permit: Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Enterprise IT Management is a diploma rather than a degree, so the Canadian field of study requirement applies and Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility must be confirmed in writing before you commit.
