Program details
Overview
The Data Science program at the University of Manitoba, offered by the Faculty of Science, leads to a Bachelor of Science (Major) typically completed in about four years of full-time study, or roughly five years with the co-op option, which adds three or four paid work terms. The program can be completed full-time or part-time on the Fort Garry campus. Coursework combines mathematics, statistics, and computer science to collect, analyze, visualize, and interpret data, with courses covering data structures, linear algebra, statistics, and applied data science topics using real-world datasets. As a Major program, it allows students to select electives from other disciplines, giving breadth alongside the core technical training. The program suits students seeking quantitative and computational skills for data-focused careers, an area the program describes as being in strong and growing demand across industries.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Faculty of Science admission (applies to all BSc majors; no Data Science-specific admission requirement). Direct Entry (Manitoba high school students, fewer than 24 post-secondary credit hours): minimum average of 80% over English 40S, Applied or Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S, one of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science or Physics 40S, and an academic 40S course, with no less than 60% in each course. Advanced Entry (24+ post-secondary credit hours): minimum Adjusted GPA (AGPA) of 2.00. Students cannot select Data Science on initial application; they are admitted to the Faculty of Science generally (or via University 1) and declare the Data Science major after completing a minimum of 24 credit hours, generally at the end of first or second year, per the requirements set out in the Academic Calendar. Meeting these minimums does not guarantee admission.
Application Details
Start Date:September, January and May
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
