Program details

Overview

Eight-month graduate certificate delivered online, building a fundamental understanding of pharmaceutical regulatory affairs and quality operations. Studies of regulatory compliance in Canada and internationally prepare students for careers involving drug or medical regulations and quality assurance, moving from fundamentals in the first semester to more detailed exposure to regulation and quality operations in the second, including preparing submissions to the Therapeutic Product Program and understanding good manufacturing processes. 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 online delivery variant shares the same stated admission requirements as the other delivery modes.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through OntarioColleges.ca. For the September 2027 intake, OCAS opens for applications on 1 October 2026, the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, first offers go out from 1 November 2026, and the earliest confirmation deadline is 1 May 2027 with a CAD 200 deposit due the second Wednesday of June 2027. The January 2027 and May 2027 intakes opened on 1 October 2025 and carry no equal-consideration date, with earliest confirmation deadlines of 1 November 2025 and 1 March 2027. International applicants apply directly to Seneca, are assessed on a rolling basis with no fixed closing date, and are admitted up to the first day of classes or until a program fills, whichever comes first. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
