Offered by Mohawk College in Hamilton, Canada, Bachelor of Digital Health (Honours) is a bachelor's degree in Health Informatics programme. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 9,055 per semester (CAD 3,253 per semester for local students).
This four-year honours bachelor's degree at Mohawk College focuses on the information-technology side of health care, covering systems analysis, software development, networking, database design, and user-interface design as applied to clinical and health settings. Students work with digital health devices such as wearables, learning to capture and visualize health data and to build supporting tools using languages including JavaScript, Python, C# and PHP. Coursework addresses the secure handling of medical records and patient information, referencing Canadian frameworks such as PHIPA and PIPEDA alongside organizations like the Canadian Institute for Health Information. Teaching draws on Mohawk's mHealth & eHealth Development and Innovation Centre (MEDIC), giving students access to case studies and lab space built around real digital-health research. The program includes over 600 hours of practical lab work and at least one work-experience placement with a health-care organization. Admission requires an Ontario secondary school diploma with senior-level English, mathematics and science credits. It suits students who want to combine software development and data skills with an interest in health care, aiming for roles that bridge clinical operations and health information technology rather than either field alone.

Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through Ontario Colleges: for a September start Mohawk's equal-consideration date is 1 February (1 February 2027 for the next fall intake), and for a January start it is 1 June; after either date, files are considered first-come, first-served while seats remain, with permanent residents of Ontario prioritized, then other Canadian residents, then international applicants. International applicants apply via OCAS's International Application Service on a per-intake deadline rather than one annual date: for January 2027 entry, applications opened February 2026 and the submission deadline is 1 November 2026; Mohawk had not yet published a deadline for the September 2027 intake as of this check. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
