Admission requires a high school diploma plus two years of professional or academic experience.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Data Analytics for Management Science Diploma requires applicants to be secondary-school graduates with at least two years of professional full-time work experience, or to have previously completed the equivalent of two years of post-secondary study. Applicants whose first language is not English are asked to provide an accepted official English-proficiency exam score, or proof of successful completion of previous education in English; the program page does not itself state a specific IELTS or TOEFL threshold and refers applicants to the Division of Continuing Studies' separate language-requirements page. The program explicitly states that previous experience in data analytics or coding is not required for entry. Applicants who have completed the Business Intelligence and Data Analytics micro-credential, or the Business Administration certificate or diploma, may ladder into the diploma with credit toward up to three courses.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, which opens for 2027-entry applications on 1 October 2026: most degree programmes see September 2027 entry close 31 January 2027, January 2027 entry close 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry close 31 March 2027, though Teacher Education post-degree programmes close 2 January 2027, Indigenous Education post-degree admits on an ongoing basis, and Engineering's Summer entry (high-school graduates only) closes 31 December 2026. International applicants use the same portal and face identical dates, since UVic publishes no separate international deadline. UVic treats these as fixed annual dates rather than rolling admission, though it warns any programme can close early without notice. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
