Why Study at SAIT
Technology
It's in our name
In 1916, our doors opened in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, with 11 students and a mandate to train veterans returning from the First World War. Over the years, we’ve matched community needs — as a hospital during the Spanish Flu pandemic and as a Royal Canadian Air Force Wireless Training School during the Second World War.
Fast forward to today, and SAIT’s action-based learning, solution-focused research, and industry partnerships are helping to shape the next generation of inventors, entrepreneurs and pioneers. Whether you're looking to upskill or change careers, we enable lifetime learning through relevant, customized education and enhance the global competitiveness of our students and region.
Connected to industry
With more than 11,000 industry partners, we blur the lines between industry and SAIT to strengthen the economy and prepare you for in-demand careers.
