Delivered part-time through continuing education, this graduate certificate gives a basic understanding of regulatory affairs and quality operations across several industries, including pharmaceuticals. It prepares students for roles tied to submissions for drugs or medical devices and for quality-assurance work, and takes in regulatory compliance questions both within Canada and in other parts of the world.
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 part-time-studies variant shares the same stated admission requirements as the other delivery modes.
