Overview

Graduate Certificate in Applied Research (Optional Co-op)

Applied research is designed to answer specific questions aimed at solving practical problems. 

While fundamental research answers the initial question of how things work, new knowledge acquired from applied research has specific objectives in the form of products, procedures or services. 

The pace of change in applied research and information mobilization has never been as fast as today. 

Whether designing, implementing, and evaluating applied research projects or targeting and tailoring research evidence for decision-making, people who engage in applied research create meaning and impact across multiple sectors. 

In this graduate certificate program at Conestoga College, you will learn practical research methodologies, data analytics, data visualization, and knowledge mobilization to accelerate the impact of applied research. 

The second semester allows you to work in interdisciplinary teams to implement your skills in an applied research impact project. 

In addition to this hands-on experience, you will have the opportunity to expand your real-world practice through an optional co-op term.
