Red River College Polytechnic offers Diploma in Applied Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, a diploma in Data Science & Analytics programme in Winnipeg, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years, delivered in a blended format. Tuition for international students is CAD 23,865 per year (CAD 16,401 per year for local students).
This two-year diploma program, delivered over four terms with September and January intake options, covers programming and software development foundations, mathematical and statistical fundamentals for data science, data management, collection and analysis techniques, and the design and implementation of machine learning models spanning supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning approaches. Coursework also addresses artificial intelligence tools and automation technologies, ethical AI development, privacy, and data security practices, alongside communication and collaboration skills for both technical and non-technical audiences. Delivery is blended, roughly half on campus and half online or remote, based at the Exchange District Campus in Winnipeg, and students are required to supply their own laptop meeting program specifications. The final term includes a mandatory co-op placement or industry project, giving students applied professional experience before graduation. The program suits individuals seeking roles in data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence development, or data engineering, who want to build practical, real-world experience into their studies alongside technical coursework.

Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants apply directly to RRC Polytech. The college states that most programs, including many trades and technology diplomas, have no fixed application deadline and remain open for registration until the program start date or until seats fill, while a smaller set of higher-demand programs (started in August or September) does carry a published deadline, listed through an interactive search tool on the college's Application Deadlines page. The specific cut-off dates for individual programs, and any distinct international deadline, could not be extracted from that page by automated means, so admission for most of this institution's programs is best treated as rolling rather than tied to a fixed date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
