Program overview
A four year honours degree in public health protection, covering food and water safety, environmental health law, communicable disease control, inspection practice and paid co-op terms, with applied practice running through the programme.
This asks 70 percent rather than 65, and it leads toward public health inspection, a recognised Canadian professional route.
Bachelor of Environmental Public Health (Honours) is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college on the post-secondary institution list. Because the environmental public health degree is a degree, it is exempt from the PGWP field of study requirement that applies to college level credentials. Conestoga records the environmental public health degree under CIP 51.2202. That exemption lets the environmental public health degree support a post-graduation work permit of up to three years whatever the subject. Ontario still requires a provincial attestation letter before the environmental public health degree can support a study permit application.
Entry to Bachelor of Environmental Public Health (Honours) is Grade 12 or equivalent at 70 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the environmental public health degree is recorded at CAD 15,961. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the environmental public health degree. The environmental public health degree lists three entry windows across the annual intake cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the environmental public health degree application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 88 with 22 in every section; PTE Academic 58 with no component below 10; or the Duolingo English Test at 120.

- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Practising as a Public Health Inspector in Canada requires the Certificate in Public Health Inspection from CIPHI, assessed separately from this degree.
- Work rights: The environmental public health degree is a degree, exempt from the field of study rule, supporting a work permit of up to three years. Conestoga records CIP 51.2202. A PGWP also requires a language test at CLB 7 in all four abilities for degree graduates, taken within two years of applying. This is separate from the English test you need for admission. No dependant open work permit applies.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
