Diploma in Biotechnology Technician

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, or mature-student status at 19 years of age or older. Required subjects are Grade 12 compulsory English at a C or U level, or Conestoga's Preparatory Communications (COMM1251); Grade 12 Mathematics at a C or U level, or Conestoga's Preparatory Mathematics (MATH1420); and two of Grade 11 or 12 Chemistry, Biology, Physics, or Science (SNC3M/SNC4M) at a C or U level, or the equivalent Conestoga preparatory course. Applicants whose prior instruction was not in English must demonstrate English language proficiency; the programme page defers to Conestoga's general requirement, so its published diploma-level minimum applies: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 80 with no skill below 20, PTE Academic 53, or Duolingo 110. Conestoga notes that a sound mathematical and English background is considered during selection and that minimum cutoffs may apply.
