Program details

Overview

This postgraduate certificate develops practical skills for pulling reliable information out of large data sets, through courses in computing and statistics that build database skills for housing, extracting, manipulating, and maintaining data. Statistical techniques covered include collecting data correctly, assessing its quality, analyzing it, and turning it into business intelligence, with an optional co-op component ahead of a career in data analysis.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants need a bachelor's degree from a recognized institution. A quantitative background is also required: high-school Calculus 12 or Pre-calculus 12, or a university-level calculus course at C or better, or the prerequisites for COMP 150 together with either the prerequisites for STAT 106, completion of STAT 106, or a GRE Quantitative Reasoning score of 155 or higher. English proficiency is set at UFV's Degree/diploma level (IELTS Academic 6.5/6.0, TOEFL iBT 88/20, PTE Academic 61/60, or Duolingo 110). Applications are due February 1 for Fall-semester entry, with late applications considered only if space remains; official transcripts must come directly from every post-secondary institution attended other than UFV. Applicants missing the introductory computer-science or statistics coursework may be admitted conditionally, on the understanding that they complete it over the preceding Summer term.

Start Date: September
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply directly to UFV: applications for Fall (September) 2027 entry open 1 October 2026, for Winter (January) 2027 entry opened 1 May 2026, and for Summer (May) 2027 entry open 1 October 2026; UFV publishes no closing date for any of these and instead admits many programmes strictly in application-date order once every required document has arrived, so applying soon after opening matters more than any deadline.
