The Certificate in Grape and Wine Technology is designed to give students with prior scientific training the opportunity to apply their prior learning to the grape and wine industry. The program may be completed in a calendar year as a full-time student, or longer as a part-time student. Students can choose from two streams of study: Course Only or Internship Option.
Industry experience is an essential part of our students’ preparation. To gain that experience students who choose to complete the Internship Option stream will have the opportunity to complete a work term within the grape and wine industry. These internship work terms will be paid positions providing meaningful, academically relevant employment experience within the grape and wine industry. The primary goal is to arrange and monitor placements within the Canadian industry. However, suitable international work terms may be used to meet the program requirements. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms students are assessed an administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees ).
Eligibility requirements:
