About Bundle Program - Post-Diploma Certificate - Cyber Security for Control Systems & Post-Diploma Certificate - Integrated Artificial Intelligence (Optional Co-op)
Today's students in Canada are more diverse than previous generations - they are more likely to be workers, parents and returning adults - and do not always follow a single and consistent path to employment.
Stacking or bundling credentials has emerged as an increasingly popular higher education enrolment strategy to support students who want to develop career skills but may not have the flexibility in their schedules to commit to a longer-term program.
International students can apply for two consecutive programs at the same time to create a program bundle.
Benefits of a SAIT program bundle
A program bundle provides you with:
- a seamless application process, with the one-time application fee and a combined letter of acceptance for programs full duration
- the opportunity to qualify for a post-graduation work permit with a validity length of one to three years
- the opportunity to apply for only one study permit to cover both programs
- the option to work part-time on and off campus while studying and full-time during scheduled breaks.
- Upon successful completion of both programs, you will receive one to two credentials so you may obtain a post-graduate work permit.
