Overview
At Humber, we offer a distinct third option between community colleges and universities—The Third Lane.
As Canada’s Polytechnic™, Humber has the competencies, breadth, and depth of talent and programs to shape a new lane for students, employers, and communities. It facilitates wealth creation and equal opportunity, thrives on innovation, and derives learning from failure.
Why Polytechnic?
Humber offers a polytechnic style of learning. What's a polytechnic?
Being a polytechnic means that our programs are career-focused and responsive to changes in competitive global job markets. Humber professors bring a wealth of relevant industry experience to the classroom. Class sizes are small, and simulation labs and work placements bridge the gap between classroom and industry. We put theory into practice from day one, which is important because work-integrated learning means you will have experience working in your industry before you graduate! When you leave Humber you will be a professional, poised and ready to make your mark.
Humber's Downtown Campus International Graduate School (IGS)
Humber’s Downtown Campus is uniquely integrated in Toronto’s core with proximity to the city’s business and technology hub. The campus features leading classroom technology that supports innovative teaching approaches and enriched learning. These tools encourage collaboration and creativity, and will prime you to be fluent in emerging technologies that are becoming the new business norm. Global classrooms mean immersive livestreamed sessions and videoconferencing that enable cross-border exchange with learners worldwide. Meeting rooms with smart technology and workstations with functional writable desks offer multiple ways to make ideas visible and workshop solutions.

Scholarships
International Entrance Scholarships - January and May 2025 intakes
$1,000 entrance scholarship for new international students already in Canada with a valid study permit for both the January and May 2025 intakes.
Â
International Entrance Scholarships - 2024
New students starting their Diploma and/or Advanced Diploma studies are eligible for consideration for an international entrance scholarship at Humber. This scholarship offers a CAD 2,000 reduction in tuition fees during the first two semesters of study (CAD 1,000 per semester).
Further details of this scholarship are:
- Humber may consider high school students who have demonstrated academic excellence for the international entrance scholarship, but due to the limited number of scholarships available, only those with the highest GPA (Grade Point Average) will be awarded. Humber's admissions team will calculate the GPA based on the high school transcripts received during the admissions assessment process. No separate application is required for the International Entrance Scholarship, as the awards are automatically granted to eligible candidates after they commence their studies.
 - A total of 20 scholarships will be awarded to new students starting in September, 15 scholarships will be awarded to new students starting in January, and 5 scholarships will be awarded to new students starting in May. Per every starting semester, each recipient must come from a different country. In other words, no more than one student from any single country may receive the award within the same starting semester.
 - The award will be applied towards the student's MyHumber account as a credit after the 10th day of classes in two instalments of CAD 1,000. Both payments will be applied to the second semester. The scholarship recipient is still required to pay the full amount for the first semester.
 - Only successful recipients will be notified after the Day 10 of their 1st-semester studies.
Bachelor'S Degree Scholarships
Bachelor's Degree scholarships are available to students coming directly from high school/secondary school studies, who are non-transfer students (i.e. haven't attended college or university, or studied in Humber's EAP program), and are unlimited in quantity.
Humber awards degree scholarships automatically to graduating high school students based on academic achievement.
