What our alumni say

One of the main reasons that brought me to this institution, in addition to the various opportunities that we have as students on and off-campus, is the support for diversity and inclusion of students from all over the world.

Isreal Cintra (from Brazil)
SAIT alumnus, Business Administration '21

I found it attractive that SAIT had small class sizes: I knew I would learn better by having a chance to establish strong connections with other students and my instructors. My experience was that my instructors and campus staff were caring and helpful. My instructors supported me throughout my learning journey; advisors from the International Centre were always there when I needed help – from understanding how to complete immigration paperwork to coaching me through my concerns.
