Join Saskatchewan Polytechnic
Saskatchewan Polytechnic partners with other organizations in applied research to tackle real-world problems. It has recently has teamed up with Create Café, a 3D-Printing studio and café based in Saskatoon.
“Partnerships like this provide win-win scenarios for everyone involved,” said Dustin Maki, who is the CEO and founder of the café. “We are extremely pleased and impressed with the help that Sask Polytech provided in guiding us through the applied research process, and the quick response in getting the project underway.”
The institution’s faculty developed a set of high flow 3D printing nozzles with the Industrial Research Assistance Program. They have been used in a custom ErectorBot 3D printer named Printron, the only one of its kind in Canada. It is owned by Randy Janes, the co-owner of Create Café, and the owner of Wave of the Future 3D. Printron means that six times more material can be laid down than what Create Café has had the ability to do in the past. Because of the nozzles, larger items – such as the globe’s first 3D printed camper – can be printed at the café.
Lance Greene, the CPO and co-founder of Create Café, as well as an alumnus of Saskatchewan Polytechnic, designed the original high flow nozzle. He was on board with the partnership as he was aware of the great things that the institution could achieve.
Tim Muench, the programme head of the CAD/CAM and Mechanical Engineering Technology programs, said that partnerships such as this are the reason why Saskatchewan Polytechnic graduates are highly sought after in the professional job market.
“Our students have opportunities for first-hand experience with cutting edge technology and exposure to possible career options,” said Muench.
Those who choose to study at Saskatchewan Polytechnic will be provided with an industry-focused education that has strong academic offerings, invaluable industry connections and effective applied research.
Students will benefit from tailored and hands-on learning which focuses on developing an applied knowledge and skillset. They will learn marketable skills, be provided with industry-driven experience and discover how to succeed as a graduate in the professional world.
Students can take advantage of Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s academic partnership programs to institutions across Canada. Some partners include:
In light of the ever-changing nature of the job market Sask Polytech liaises with industry experts and academics to develop top-quality, dynamic new programs to produce graduates of high expertise. New qualifications include:

There are a range of programs which cover accountancy, administration, financial services, human resources, insurance and marketing.
Students who enjoy practical work and building structures will be able to choose from a program in an area such as bricklaying, carpentry or architectural technologies.
Students will learn how to join the high-in-demand workforce of skilled healthcare workers.
The school provides hospitality and tourism programs, covering areas including institutional cooking, and hotel and restaurant management.
The school helps students learn how to contribute to certain issues in society through 18 programs ranging from a diploma in early childhood education to a certificate in funeral directing.
Students can choose from industry-focused programs in areas such as media production and digital graphic design.
Students will be given a practical and modern educational experience. Several programs include an applied research project where theory can be applied to real-world issues.
Those who want to improve the natural or built environments can enjoy programs in areas including bioscience technology and integrated resource management.
Small, interactive class sizes with a large faculty means that students can prepare for a successful career. They learn in simulation centres with mannequins, cameras, hospital scenarios, and assessment and control rooms.
Students will gain a technical education working in modern facilities. They’ll also benefit from rich industry experience.
Admission requirements are specific to each program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic. Students will need an equivalent to a minimum of a Saskatchewan grade 12 from a recognized institution.
The majority of programs use the First Qualified, First Admitted (FQFA) application method. Therefore, students who apply for a program early enough in advance will have more chance of getting a place on a program.
Programs can only take a certain number of students and places are in high demand, so students are encouraged to apply as soon as they can. Applications open in October for programs beginning in September and January. Students should apply before the previous May.
For programs which begin in January, students should apply before the previous May.
Students will also need to meet the English language requirements. All programs require an IELTS score of at least 6.5, or equivalent.
Saskatchewan Polytechnic gives students the opportunity to develop and strengthen their English language skills through their newly developed English for Success courses. The courses assist students to improve their language test scores and meet the English language entry requirement for Sask Polytech programs.
Upon successful completion of English for Success Level 2, students will meet the English language entrance requirements for their chosen Sask Polytech program. The program is for international applicants who:
Note: English for Academic Purposes is not an option for students applying to Bachelor of Nursing (BScN), Practical Nursing or Power Engineering.
Sask Polytech is well supported by donors and alumni, meaning that the institution offers around CAD2 million each year in student awards and financial aid. International students have the opportunity to apply for a number of merit-based scholarships. These are primarily adjudicated on the basis of academic achievement and performance. Students are encouraged to explore the awards available and check their eligibility. There are currently no scholarships available for those applying to study at Sask Polytech for the first time. However, the achievement-based awards are offered throughout the duration of student’s study at the institution.
In order to qualify for scholarships students must be enrolled for a Sask Polytech programme and have received confirmation of their enrolment. Students are able to use marks, which can be accessed after completing one semester, achieved in a Sask Polytech program in their application.
Saskatchewan Polytechnic has four different campuses which can be found in Moose Jaw, Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert.
Each campus offers students a number of amenities, such as:
International students have their own informal association where they can access resources and news, and are able to meet others.
Those who learn on the Regina campus are able to live at the recently-built housing which accommodates 693 people on the nearby campus. Students can find out more by reading the Saskatchewan Student Application Process page, where step-by-step instructions can be found.
