HD in Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Technology is a higher diploma in Biomedical & Laboratory Sciences programme taught at Mohawk College in Hamilton, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition is CAD 3,546 per semester for local students.
This advanced diploma combines online learning, lab sessions, simulations and clinical training to prepare students for patient-centred care performing nuclear medicine and molecular imaging procedures, qualifying graduates for the CAMRT registration exam. Coursework builds the technical expertise and theoretical knowledge to carry out general and cardiac nuclear medicine procedures safely, including theranostics, PET and SPECT imaging, and covers the application of radiation safety principles to prepare, administer and dispose of radioactive tracers. Students develop critical thinking, problem-solving and collaborative skills working with diverse patients and other health professionals, within the functional demands of the role, including manual dexterity, physical strength, fine motor control and communication skills. The six-semester program structure moves from two fully didactic semesters, through two semesters combining coursework with part-time clinical placement, to two semesters of full-time clinical placement, alongside three mandatory two-week in-person lab intensives at the end of semesters two, three and four.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: ACADEMIC ENTRY: an OSSD or its equivalent (Mohawk Academic Upgrading or GED) including Grade 12 English at the C or U level or equivalent; a Grade 12 maths credit, either MCT4C (Mathematics for College Technology) or any U-level Grade 12 maths; and Grade 11 or 12 biology, chemistry and physics, each at the C or U level or equivalent. The averaged mark across all five required courses must be at least 80 per cent - a stated threshold, not a suggestion. Mohawk also publishes a mature-applicant route for people without the school credits.
Applicants whose first language is not English must prove proficiency; this program's page does not print its own score table, so Mohawk's college-wide diploma-level minimums apply unless the program page later says otherwise. Mohawk's page shows only a September start, at the Institute for Applied Health Sciences, and lists no international intake for it - international applicants should confirm availability with Mohawk International before applying.
Application Details
Start Date:Starts Mohawk lists on this program’s own page, checked 6 September 2026. Domestic applicants: September 2026 at Institute for Applied Health Sciences at McMaster (IH). Mohawk’s page lists no international intake table for this program, so international applicants should confirm with Mohawk International that the program is open to them before applying. Mohawk runs a Fall term from September, a Winter term from January and a Spring/Summer term from May; not every program runs every term, and the seat status shown beside a start (open, waitlist, closed) moves as intakes fill.
Application Deadline:Mohawk publishes no deadline unique to this program; the dates below are the college-wide ones.
DOMESTIC APPLICANTS (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through ontariocolleges.ca. Equal consideration date: 1 February for a September start. Applications that reach Ontario Colleges by then are read together in the first round of offers. Applying afterwards is still allowed, but remaining seats go first-come, first-served, and a competitive program is usually full by that point. Where a program draws more qualified applicants than it has seats, Mohawk ranks them on the average of their highest senior-level final grades in the required courses, and offers go to Ontario permanent residents first, then residents of other Canadian provinces and territories, then international applicants.
INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS (citizens of another country without Canadian permanent residence) do not use the equal consideration dates. Mohawk lists no international intake for this program at the time of writing, so there is no international deadline to quote; contact Mohawk International before assuming a seat exists.
