Program details

Overview

Flexible-delivery offering of the eight-month Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs & Quality Operations graduate certificate: some courses are taught in interactive learning spaces where professors teach in person at Seneca@York and stream to online students at the same time. Across two semesters, students study Canadian and international drug and health care legislation, good manufacturing processes, regulatory submissions and quality operations, preparing for regulatory affairs and quality assurance roles. January, May and September starts.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario university or college degree or equivalent in a science discipline focused on chemistry, biology, or pharmaceutical studies. Canadian citizens or permanent residents educated outside Canada must provide a credential evaluation from a recognised agency such as WES or ICAS. The program's own page states that applicants must meet Seneca's English-proficiency requirement for graduate certificates and that international students must satisfy Seneca's institution-wide English requirement, without restating a numeric score on this page; per Seneca's general admission policy, a formal English test is asked of domestic graduate-certificate applicants only where sufficient prior study in English cannot be shown. Neither this program's page nor its admission-requirements page states a minimum GPA or average for this postgraduate certificate; this flexible delivery variant shares the same stated admission requirements as the other delivery modes.
