Program details

Requirements

Admission Requirements: This graduate/postgraduate certificate requires a prior Ontario university or college degree, diploma, or equivalent in life sciences, nursing, or a related field of study, including physical-science coursework such as chemistry and biology; applicants with only partial postsecondary study may still qualify if they can show significant relevant work experience, supported by a resume and references. Canadian citizens or permanent residents whose credential was earned outside Canada must submit a credential evaluation from WES or ICAS. The programme page defers English-language proficiency to Seneca's institution-wide graduate-certificate standard rather than publishing its own scores: international applicants must meet Seneca's published English requirement, and the page directs applicants to select their home country for country-specific documentation, noting that further documents or assessments may be requested upon request.
