PGCert in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Full Time and Part Time) is a postgraduate certificate in Biomedical & Laboratory Sciences programme taught at Mohawk College in Hamilton, Canada. The programme runs for 2 semesters, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition is CAD 3,798 per semester for local students.
This graduate certificate is suited to working technologists in radiography, sonography, cardiac sonography, radiation therapy or nuclear medicine who want to broaden or shift their clinical focus toward MRI, and prepares students for the CAMRT certification exam. Coursework includes built-in MRI simulation exercises that familiarize students with the relevant software platforms before clinical application, with content built around universal design for learning principles. The program addresses the functional demands of MRI practice, including manual dexterity and eye-hand coordination, physical strength, fine motor control, acute hearing and vision, empathy with patients, and critical thinking under emergency conditions. Delivery blends online coursework with in-person lab sessions around weeks eleven to thirteen, a part-time option of three courses per semester over three semesters, and a full-time clinical placement of fifteen weeks.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires either graduation from a Medical Radiation Sciences program (Radiologic Technology, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Therapy, or Diagnostic Ultrasonography) with a current practice permit or diploma and active registration with the relevant provincial regulatory body or CAMRT, or a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a registered health professions program that includes at least six credit hours in Human Anatomy and Physiology plus six further health-care-related credit hours. All applicants must submit official postsecondary transcripts, a copy of current professional registration or licence, and a current resume detailing patient or health-care experience. Applicants whose first language is not English must, within the two years before applying, present a TOEFL iBT score of 98 with a minimum of 24 in each of reading, listening and writing and 26 in speaking, or an IELTS Academic overall score of 7.0 with no band below 6.5; applications lacking these results are not scored.
Application Details
Start Date:September, January and May
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.
