Welcome to Mohawk College
This summer the College Student Success Innovation Centre (CSSIC) at Mohawk was honoured with the CACUSS Innovation Award at the annual conference of the Canadian Association of College and University Student Services in Calgary. The award recognizes a new or pioneering service or program that demonstrates innovation and excellence and could be used as a model of promising practice for other institutions.
The CSSIC is an exceptional research centre, the first of its kind in Canada, situated on Mohawk’s main campus. The centre provides support and innovative services to community college students. Academic activities include invited presentations, ten research publications as well as several more to come. The success of the centre is shown by the CAD 1.7 million of research funding which has been generated over the last four years by the industry leading faculty. Some of the recently funded projects include the involvement of local school boards and Indigenous communities.
The Dean of Students at Mohawk College, Tim Fricker, says “We are proud to receive this award as affirmation of Mohawk College’s commitment to supporting students as they pursue their education. Though the centre has only been open one year, we are seeing promising results. We are grateful to the college leadership for supporting our dedicated team in our efforts.”
Mohawk College offers an engaging and interesting way of learning, with a variety of methods used to equip students with knowledge and expertise. Excellent teaching staff provide face-to-face learning to a high standard, giving students insight and information from their vast experience. Mohawk also utilizes online learning, with a dedicated Centre for Teaching and Learning providing around the clock support and assistance with academic matters.
There is also a major focus on field placements and lab learning led by highly trained teaching staff to supplement the experiences gained in the traditional classroom environment. The diverse range of teaching on offer at Mohawk College makes it an exciting and intriguing place to learn and gain knowledge that will truly be of benefit immediately after graduation.
Rather than having defined department structures, Mohawk College instead breaks down its course catalogue into numerous areas. These are:
Offering a diverse range of 25 programs available to international students, ranging from accounting and marketing to public relations and international business.
Five separate preparatory courses are available to overseas students, specifically designed to give students a certificate qualification with a clear pathway onto a further academic course.

International students are able to apply to one of 16 courses exploring community services such as justice and legal services, social services, law enforcement and more.
Almost all aspects of the growing technology sector are covered by the 26 courses available to international students.
There are different entry requirements for individual courses at Mohawk College, although each course carries English language requirements for international students. These also vary depending on the course, so students should check specific course requirements. Although some programs are higher, the majority of Mohawk College’s diploma programs have the following entry requirements:
Some individual programs require a higher level of English ability.
It is proof of how highly regarded Mohawk College is that some of the more popular programs have highly competitive admissions periods. This means that there is a deadline for applications to receive equal consideration, which is usually February for a September course start and June for a January course start. Whilst demand can be high on some occasions, students should not be daunted by the application process and there may still be places available after the deadlines. Students should check deadlines for individual courses as they may vary.
As of September 2019, all International students must be 17 years of age or older at the start of teaching. Any international students under 18 years of age will need to provide a notarized Custodianship Declaration to the International team.
There are three main campuses which serve Mohawk College, located across Hamilton, offering the following facilities:
The largest campus, having recently undergone the biggest renovation in college history, Fennell Campus offers modernized, energy-efficient space in Hamilton. The campus provides top-class academic resources as well as entertainment, shopping and activities to create an exciting college experience.
The Stoney Creek Campus focuses on skilled trades, with top technology and professional equipment for a number of these more practical courses.
Mohawk students in applied health sciences benefit from the partnership with McMaster University to utilize top of the range facilities and laboratories to prepare for successful healthcare careers.
Mohawk provides student housing support officers that can help with off-campus living to make the process as easy as possible.
For international students, the Canadian Homestay Network can support homestay arrangements with host Canadian families in the area to offer extra support.
Mohawk College provides more than 30 services specifically dedicated to supporting the needs of its many international students. From the moment students arrive in Canada, the college provides all they could need to ensure a smooth transition into life in Hamilton. Mohawk offers an international square at each campus for arriving students at the start of each semester, where they will then be given an orientation to find their feet, concluding with optional social orientation events, run by the Mohawk Students’ Association (MSA).
There is also a team dedicated to visa and immigration support and housing as well as numerous academic services to help students with their studies. Amongst the support on offer is a Language and Culture Centre, designed to allow international students to meet, socialize and participate in activities with peers.
