Program details

Overview

The program's field placement consists of 160 hours of unpaid work completed at the close of the sixth and final semester, during which students work directly with industry professionals on projects covering procurement, quality assurance, logistics and inventory management, along with other areas of supply chain and operations work. Host organizations often use the placement to assess potential future hires, while students gain confidence applying their coursework to real business problems, supported by a field placement coordinator who works with both students and employers.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or Mature Student Status, Grade 12 English at the C or U level, and Grade 11 Mathematics at C, M or U. The page states no minimum average and no language-test scores of its own, so English-language proficiency follows Durham College's institution-wide requirement for certificates, diplomas and three-year advanced diplomas: IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 4.5 overall with no section below 4.5, PTE Academic 53 with no section below 49, CAEL 60 with no section below 60, or Duolingo English Test 110. Applicants missing a prerequisite can use Durham's options to meet admission requirements, including pre-admission assessment testing and Academic Upgrading.

Application Details

Start Date: September, January and May

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for September 2026 entry the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2026 and offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2026; January 2027 entry has an equal-consideration date of 1 October 2026 (confirm by 1 November 2026); May 2027 entry has an equal-consideration date of 1 February 2027 (confirm by 1 March 2027) - applications after these dates are still assessed while seats remain, including for programs Durham lists as highly competitive (Paramedic, Practical Nursing, Dental Hygiene and similar), which share the same cycle rather than a distinct deadline. International applicants apply directly to Durham, not through ontariocolleges.ca, and are assessed on a rolling basis against each program's published intake availability; Durham publishes no fixed international closing date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
