Artificial intelligence is changing how digital products are designed, developed, and experienced. The Canadian and global technology sectors are rapidly evolving, creating strong demand for professionals skilled in artificial intelligence, web development, and emerging technologies.

Langara's Artificial Intelligence Applications Program (AIAP) is a future-focused, applied, career-oriented program that prepares you to be part of what's next. Build the practical, industry-relevant skills you need to thrive in the modern digital workforce.

AIAP is designed around applied, hands-on learning, with a curriculum that reflects the growing role of artificial intelligence in technology, digital design, and development. In two years, you'll graduate with practical, industry-ready experience and a portfolio of work to showcase your skills and talent to future employers.

Program highlights

• Multiple pathways: Start the program with Computer Science or Digital Media and Design courses, build specialized skills in development or design, then come together for collaborative AIAP projects. 
• Career-ready in two years: Build practical skills for careers in digital design or development.
• AI-integrated and current: Develop skills for a digital industry increasingly shaped by AI and emerging technologies.
• Designers and developers work together: Collaborate across disciplines on projects that reflect how digital teams work in industry. 
• Applied, hands-on learning: Put your learning into practice by designing, prototyping, and building digital products.
• Portfolio development: Graduate with cross-disciplinary collaborative project work that showcases your skills to future employers.
• Industry/career connection: Develop skills aligned with current industry needs and emerging career opportunities.

What you’ll learn
Turn your interest in technology, design, and AI into practical, globally competitive skills for the future.

As you learn how AI is changing the field, you’ll develop current design and development skills, work collaboratively, build tangible projects, and prepare for careers in a rapidly evolving digital industry. 
Students from both streams work together on two major projects, designing, prototyping, and implementing fully functional digital products. This hands-on, project-based approach gives students practical experience working in teams, solving real-world problems, and applying industry-standard software practices. 

Shared program outcomes

• Design, develop, and deploy complex digital applications.
• Apply user-centred design and development principles.
• Collaborate professionally in client-driven, team-based projects using industry-standard project management tools.
• Identify, interpret, and ethically apply emerging technologies, including AI, in design and development work.
• Graduate with a portfolio of your cross-disciplinary project work.
