Program Information

A Canadian education is increasingly accessed by newcomer students who are either international students or immigrant students. The Graduate Diploma in Post-Secondary Education (International Education) is intended to support learning about internationalization and how it is supported and implemented in educational institutions.

The diploma program is designed for educators in diverse and global sectors (education, government, not-for-profit, private industry) to gain in-depth insights into the structures, policies, theories and philosophies of international education, as well as the newcomer student experience.

The diploma consists of four courses and serves as a pathway into the Master of Education (Post-Secondary Education) program stream. The mode of delivery is online. The admissions requirements follow normal Calendar regulations and the program can be completed over a period of four semesters. 

Graduates of this program will not only gain a recognized academic credential, but also will be well-prepared for advancement to senior level roles in international education.
