The Pharmaceutical Quality Control ROA provides students with the knowledge of Good Manufacturing Practices (Health Canada), FDA and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, applicable standard operating procedures, working knowledge of analytical instrumental techniques (HPLC, GC and Dissolution), computerized work stations software and troubleshooting techniques.
Students perform chemical and physical analysis on a wide range of pharmaceutical products in accordance with established procedures and analytical monographs such as US pharmacopoeia and British Pharmacopoeia.
Students are invited to attend an information session.
Graduates of the Pharmaceutical Quality Control (ROA) Program may find employment in the pharmaceutical industry in quality control laboratories.

Ontario Secondary School Diploma or University/College Preparation: Grade 12 English, Chemistry, Mathematics and Grade 11 Biology are required. Mature students with work experience are considered on that basis, but may be advised to take College preparatory Chemistry, English, Biology, and Math.
Students who hold a diploma or degree from another country and have the above credits may directly enrol into the PHC program. You do not have to show your documents or write an admission test.
Part-time Studies courses are being offered in either of the following four formats: Online, Flexible, In-person, Hybrid. Click Availability below to see current offerings.
Pharmaceutical Chemistry is an area of chemistry focused on synthesis, development, and study of molecules used in medicine and their interactions with biological agents. Topics include organic, inorganic and biochemistry which are an integral part of this course. (Lectures and Labs)
This laboratory-oriented course addresses techniques and methods used in pharmaceutical analysis. Pre-lab and post-lab lectures delve into the theory of separative and analytical techniques and include clarification of relevant pharmaceutical terminology. PFT301 also provides an introduction to thin layer chromatography. (Lectures and Labs)
This course is an introduction to the theory and practical application of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Students operate an automated HPLC system and learn HPLC theory through lectures and laboratory exercises. Topics cover both qualitative and quantitative aspects of HPLC. (Lectures and Labs)
This course is designed to teach students the basic methods used in microbiology to identify and enumerate bacteria. Students are introduced to the microbial world through practical experimentation, and acquire the essential tools to function in a laboratory setting. (Lecture and Lab)
This laboratory and lecture course highlights microbiological tests involved in pharmaceutical plant sanitation, product contamination, antibiotics, disinfectants and microbial growth and inactivation calculations. (Lecture and Lab)
Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be able to:
Upon successful completion of the program requirements, please submit a Request for Recognition of Achievement Form to the Faculty of Continuing Education and Training. There is no cost for this and your Recognition of Achievement will be sent to you electronically.
