The University of Victoria is pleased to share that they are now accepting applications for their first cohort, launching this September.

The Micro-Certificates in Applied Data Science (CADS) at the University of Victoria provide graduate-level training in applied data science through a flexible, part-time format.  The program is designed for professionals, career-changers and learners seeking to upskill — whether they are currently working or preparing to move into data-focused roles — who want to build advanced technical expertise and earn recognized academic credentials without committing to a full master's degree.

CADS courses are drawn from UVic's Master of Engineering in Applied Data Science (MADS), ensuring academic rigor, industry relevance and alignment with current professional practices.  Learners complete focused, modular micro-certificates that can stand alone or serve as a pathway toward further graduate study, subject to admissions and program requirements.
