Technology-enhanced Learning and Design Graduate Diploma at Royal Roads University in Victoria, Canada is a postgraduate diploma in Information Systems & Technology programme. The programme is delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 22,038 per total (CAD 15,840 per total for local students).
This diploma pairs three courses from Royal Roads' Graduate Certificate in Instructional Design with three from its Master of Arts in Learning and Technology, both housed in the School of Education and Technology. Students study learning theory and the pedagogical debates shaping digital education, build project-management skills for instructional design, and test digital methodologies for creating learning experiences for any audience. The program is delivered entirely online, with each three-credit course requiring roughly 100 hours of work and a non-credit, community-building course on academic integrity required at the outset. Graduates go on to roles such as training and development professionals, education and development managers, training managers and directors of learning, higher education faculty and teaching-and-learning-centre directors, and K-to-12 educators and administrators, across sectors including industry, the Department of National Defence, NGOs, and health care.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Standard admission requires a four-year (or comparable) undergraduate degree from a recognized post-secondary institution and at least three years of professional experience in a leadership or management position directly related to the program outcomes; applicants with fewer years but two or more years in a recent leadership role are also encouraged to apply. Flexible admission normally requires at least seven years of work experience, including a minimum of two years in a related leadership or management position. The programme page defers to Royal Roads University's institution-wide English language requirement for applicants whose first language is not English or who were not educated in English: for third-year-entry and graduate programs, IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with a minimum 6.5 in writing and speaking and 6.0 in listening and reading, or TOEFL iBT 88 overall with a minimum 24 in writing and 20 in listening, reading and speaking. Applicants also submit official transcripts, a personal statement, a detailed résumé and reference letters.
Application Details
Start Date:January
Application Deadline:Royal Roads University sets no single university-wide deadline: domestic and international applicants apply directly to the university through the same process, and every programme page checked shows one identical deadline for both. RRU consistently closes a programme's application exactly three calendar months before that programme's own intake start date — a September 2027 intake typically closes 7 June 2027 — though a few programmes (the Master of Global Management, for example) use a six-month lead instead. Each programme lists its own upcoming intakes, running from 2026 into 2028 depending on the programme, and RRU says it may still accept a late application if space and processing time remain, but it publishes no separate international deadline and no institution-wide equal-consideration or rolling policy. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
