About the Artificial Intelligence (AIG) Program

Take advantage of limitless possibilities with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and help solve the most critical question faced by today’s businesses: how do we make sense of our data and use it to our strengths?

This postgraduate certificate tailored for Computer Science, Computer Programming and Software Development graduates will equip you with the hands-on skills and theoretical knowledge needed to transform data into strategic, evidence-based business decisions for companies.

In this program, you will explore critical concepts and skills like machine learning algorithms, cloud technology, data visualization and advanced AI, including generative AI and prompt engineering. You’ll also have the opportunity to gain industry exposure through an optional, work-integrated learning experience.

Program Duration

Study at your own pace: In this program you’ll have the flexibility to choose how many courses you want to take each term. Students who study full-time can complete this program in as little as eight months (two semesters). Duration will depend on the number of courses taken each term. See courses for more information.

Maximum completion time: In accordance with ministry requirements, all students must complete the program within two years of being admitted.

Work Experience

Optional Work Term

This program offers the option to complete a work term, providing valuable hands-on experience in your field of study. If you are interested in completing a work term, apply to the PROGRAMNAME program.

If you select the work term stream you will have the opportunity to participate in a work term(s) if eligibility requirements are maintained. You will have the flexibility to transfer to the non-work term stream at any time. The work term(s) is similar in length to an academic semester and is typically a full-time position that may be paid or unpaid. The work term job search is student-driven and participation in the work term stream does not guarantee that a work position will be secured. However, you will receive guidance and support through in-class career workshops and one-on-one coaching to help prepare for the work term. Additional fees are required for those participating in the optional work term stream, regardless of success in securing a work position. For more information, see fee details.

The work term can be completed in person, online or in a hybrid format, depending on the hiring organization.
