ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Admission requirements

ROUTE ONE
A BSc or equivalent
A completed Bachelor of Science degree, or an equivalent post-secondary credential in a science discipline.
ROUTE TWO
An Allied Health diploma
A completed diploma in an allied health field — nursing, medical laboratory, paramedicine and similar credentials are assessed on their content.
ROUTE THREE
A Pharmaceutical diploma
A completed diploma in pharmaceutical science or pharmaceutical manufacturing.
FROM A GRADUATE
I trained as a physician overseas and spent two years wondering if I’d ever work in healthcare again. Oxford gave me a real way back. My placement turned into my first Canadian role.
You don’t have to start over. You have to find the door back in — this program is that door.
