Program overview
A sixteen month graduate certificate in health and wellness, covering health promotion, behaviour change, programme design and evaluation, and wellness practice in community and workplace settings.
Postgraduate Certificate in Health and Wellness accepts a three year bachelor at 50 percent and runs sixteen months, which is the longer of the certificate options at this campus.
Postgraduate Certificate in Health and Wellness is taught on the Symons campus at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario. Trent is a public university, which matters here: at a PUBLIC institution the Canadian field of study requirement applies only to non degree credentials, and Postgraduate Certificate in Health and Wellness is a sixteen month graduate certificate rather than a degree. Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility for Postgraduate Certificate in Health and Wellness therefore depends on the programme sitting in an eligible field when you apply, and that list is revised. Confirm it in writing before you pay a deposit. The study permit application for Postgraduate Certificate in Health and Wellness also requires an Ontario attestation letter.
Admission to Postgraduate Certificate in Health and Wellness requires a three year bachelor degree at 50 percent.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed three year bachelor degree from a recognised university, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 86 overall with at least 20 in EVERY section, which is stricter than the undergraduate requirement; PTE Academic 59; or the Duolingo English Test at 115.
- Application and deposit: An application fee of CAD 92.25 applies. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Work permit: Postgraduate Certificate in Health and Wellness is a sixteen month graduate certificate rather than a degree, so the Canadian field of study test applies and Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility must be confirmed in writing for your intake before you commit. No spousal open work permit arises, because that needs a master programme of 16 months or longer. An Ontario attestation letter is required with the study permit application.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa handles the Ontario attestation letter, the study permit application and the biometrics appointment with you.
