The master's program in AI I was referring to is only available in French (Laval University, Québec City).
The chip design expertise is provided by most electrical engineering departments, with courses usually named VLSI design, FPGA/ASIC development or microelectronics.
If you apply for a master's degree (in AI, for example), you can often mix-and-match speciality classes and ask for those chip design courses to be added to your cursus.
If you are a hands-on person curious about the matter, you can buy an FPGA (~50$ for entry-level) and follow a Verilog or VHDL tutorial online. Quickly put, an FPGA is a chip that can be "rewired" at will, very useful to learn or prototype before building a production chip.
