UCIC has launched a new pathway for students: the UTP Science specialization in Data Science program, which leads to a Bachelor of Data Science at the University of Canterbury.
Why study UTP Science in UCIC?
- UTP-Science is equivalent to the first year of undergraduate Data Science studies at the University of Canterbury. After completing UTP-Science, students will gain direct entry into the second year of UC’s Bachelor of Data Science program.
- Many Data Science careers are currently on Immigration NZ’s Tier 2 Green List. This means that graduates may have the opportunity to fast-track their path to residency.
