Program details

Overview

Graduates are prepared for roles such as computer programmer, data administrator, software engineer, web technician or information systems analyst. The first year covers the basics of computing and programming while building familiarity with current development tools. In the second year, students specialise through one of three streams: emerging technology, cybersecurity or data analytics. A co-op term or participation in the Career Boost initiative is available as an option.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: On top of Douglas College's general admission requirements and English Language Proficiency requirement (proof of English proficiency, met with IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 83, PTE Academic 56, Duolingo English Test 110, CAEL 60 or another option the college accepts), this post-baccalaureate diploma requires an undergraduate degree from a recognized post-secondary institution in Canada, or an equivalent credential from an approved institution in another country. Applicants whose credential was earned in a language other than English must separately meet the college's English language proficiency requirement. Admitted students must also choose one of three programme streams — Emerging Technology, Data Analytics, or CyberSecurity — at application. No GPA minimum, portfolio or interview is stated.

Application Details

Start Date: Fall, Winter and Summer

Application Deadline: Douglas College publishes college-wide application windows rather than a single date for every programme, and the domestic and international timetables differ. Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC: for the 2027 entry cycle, Fall applications open 1 October 2026, Winter applications open 1 February 2026, and Summer applications open 1 June 2026; limited-enrolment programmes set no fixed close and shut once seats fill, while open-enrolment programmes stay open until 4:00 p.m. the Friday before the semester starts. International applicants apply directly to Douglas: Fall 2026 entry is now closed, Winter 2027 entry is accepted until 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry until 31 January 2027. Admission is effectively rolling within each window until seats or the deadline are reached. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
