Offered by Northeastern University in Toronto, Canada, Master of Science in Data Architecture Management is a master's degree in Data Science & Analytics programme. The programme is delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 48,000 per total (CAD 27,700 per total for local students).
The Master of Science in Data Architecture and Management, delivered on-ground at Northeastern University's Toronto campus through the College of Engineering, focuses on the engineering side of big data systems: curating, integrating, and processing large datasets, and building the business intelligence and data warehousing infrastructure that supports downstream analytics. Coursework draws on software engineering foundations and incorporates AI and machine-learning techniques used in modern data integration tools. Students may participate in a co-op placement, gaining several months of professional experience alongside their coursework, and can pursue an additional graduate certificate within the same program. Admission follows a rolling process with intakes in both fall and spring terms. The program is designed for students who want to work as data systems engineers - building and maintaining the technical infrastructure that allows data scientists and business analysts to do their own work effectively - rather than for those seeking a purely analytics- or statistics-focused credential. It suits computer science, engineering, or information systems graduates seeking applied, engineering-oriented training in large-scale data infrastructure at a Canadian campus with strong industry ties.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission is set by Northeastern's College of Engineering graduate admissions requirements, which this programme page links to rather than restating. Applicants must hold, or be finishing, an undergraduate bachelor's degree in engineering or a technology field; candidates from non-engineering backgrounds may still be considered for select programs. Materials are an online application, two letters of recommendation (academic or professional), a statement of purpose, a professional resume, and unofficial transcripts showing all courses, grades and credits completed to date, with official transcripts required only after admission. The GRE is optional. Non-native English speakers must submit a TOEFL iBT score of 79, an IELTS Academic score of 6.5, or a Duolingo English Test score of 105, unless the requirement is waived. The Toronto campus runs Fall and Spring intakes, with separate domestic and international deadlines.
