Overview
The Post-Degree Certificate in Data Analytics serves working professionals who already have data analysis experience, running as a part-time program meant to broaden their skills or support career advancement. It covers the complete data analytics lifecycle, from gathering data through analysis and on to presenting outcomes, using real data to build skills in cleaning, analyzing, and presenting findings, along with proficiency in industry-standard software.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Data Analytics Post-Degree Certificate requires a completed bachelor's degree or equivalent, for both domestic and international applicants, plus a minimum 'C' grade (60%) in a post-secondary level mathematics or calculus course. English proficiency is assessed under Langara's Category 2 standard: English 12 at 70%, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band under 6.0, Duolingo English Test 110, TOEFL iBT 88 (Writing, Reading, Listening and Speaking each at 20), CAEL 70 with no band under 60, or PTE Academic 56 with no skill below 55. Admission is selective, and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance; admission to the program also does not guarantee registration in every required course. The 16-month, part-time certificate has two annual intakes, January and September.
