Program overview
An eight month graduate diploma in analytical instrumentation with a placement, covering chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, method development and laboratory quality systems.
Graduate Diploma in Instrumental Chemical Analysis is the cheapest programme at this university at CAD 17,935, and it includes a placement, which is unusual for an eight month credential.
Graduate Diploma in Instrumental Chemical Analysis 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 Graduate Diploma in Instrumental Chemical Analysis is a eight month graduate diploma rather than a degree. Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility for Graduate Diploma in Instrumental Chemical Analysis 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 Graduate Diploma in Instrumental Chemical Analysis also requires an Ontario attestation letter.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A four year bachelor degree as recorded in the governing feed. Have your transcript assessed rather than assuming a three year degree is excluded.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 93 overall with 22 in writing and 22 in speaking; or PTE Academic 60 with 60 in every component. The Duolingo English Test is NOT accepted for this programme.
- 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: Graduate Diploma in Instrumental Chemical Analysis is a eight month graduate diploma 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.
