Ontario Graduate Certificate
Program Code: 07721
Campus: North
Length: 3 semesters starting in September
Regulatory affairs (RA) professionals are an integral part of protecting the public health. RA professionals are involved in controlling the safety and efficacy of food and health-related products by shepherding these products from conception to federal approval and public availability. Graduates of our program find work as RA specialists in a variety of fields such as:
You will gain knowledge of the regulatory system, legislation, procedures and practices related to the development, manufacture, quality assurance and marketing of health-related products. Expert instruction and real-world experience gained through a work placement will give you the skills and knowledge you need to enter this highly competitive field.
Following two academic course-based semesters, students complete a three-month (450 hours) internship work placement that provides opportunities to apply and integrate theoretical knowledge and skills into real-world work settings. Internship placements are conducted in a wide range of organizations such as pharmaceutical, natural health products (NHP), medical device and biotechnology companies, as well as contract research organizations, hospitals, government agencies/departments and scientific institutions.
To progress into Semester 3, students must have successfully completed the first two semesters. During Semesters 3, students complete their learning on placement sites, and assessments are carried out by assigned supervisors at the site of placement. Humber assists students in finding their placements by working with our industry partners to identify openings. Students are responsible for finding their own work placement that is aligned with learning outcomes of our program.
