Requirements

Admission Requirements: The academic requirements below are Humber's Ontario baseline; an international applicant meets the equivalent standard for their own country of study through Humber's Academic Equivalency tool and then the same program requirements. Academic: an OSSD or accepted equivalent including Grade 12 English (ENG4C or ENG4U, or equivalent), Grade 12 Math - one of MAP4C, MCT4C, MDM4U, MCB4U, MGA4U, MCV4U or MHF4U (or equivalent), Grade 11 or 12 Biology (SBI3C, SBI3U or SBI4U, or equivalent), Grade 11 or 12 Chemistry (SCH3U, SCH4C or SCH4U, or equivalent) and Grade 11 or 12 Physics (SPH3U, SPH4C or SPH4U). A Canadian citizen or permanent resident schooled abroad needs a credential assessment first - ICAS course-by-course for a secondary transcript, WES for post-secondary study. English, where English is not your first language or your previous education was in another language: Humber's certificate, diploma and advanced diploma band - IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band under 5.5, TOEFL iBT 80 with 20 per skill, PTE Academic 53-57, Duolingo 105, CAEL 60. Once you accept a seat, placement clearances may be required: immunisations and laboratory testing, TB screening, a police record check, and current First Aid and CPR certification. Clinical placement can be assigned anywhere in Ontario rather than in a preferred region, and any travel, relocation or accommodation cost falls to the student. Expect shift work across days, evenings, nights, weekends and statutory holidays in hospital, specialty, clinic and home-care settings.
