Program details
Overview
This technical Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) in Computer Science at Cégep de Jonquière is organized around three areas of specialization: programming and software development, web development using languages such as HTML, JavaScript, and PHP, and technical support covering hardware and software installation, system configuration, and network infrastructure. The program runs over six semesters and ends with a mandatory internship in the final term. Learning is largely project-based, with students collaborating on applied assignments and using industry tools made available through partnerships with technology providers. A segmented-formation option issues a certificate at the end of each year documenting the competencies acquired, allowing some students to enter the job market before completing the full DEC. The program suits students interested in building software, websites, or IT infrastructure and comfortable with analytical, detail-oriented work. Graduates are prepared for roles such as programmer-analyst, web developer, technical-support technician, database administrator, or network administrator, and the program also links to DEC-BAC university pathways for students who wish to continue toward a bachelor's degree in computer science or related engineering fields.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission follows Cégep de Jonquière's general conditions — a Quebec DES or equivalent, or a DEP plus completed Secondary V French and Secondary V second language, or training the college judges equivalent, with overall academic record quality also considered — set out on the institution's admission page. The Informatique (420.B0) programme adds its own math prerequisite for diplomas earned after June 2010: Mathématique Technico-sciences or Sciences naturelles (Secondary IV), or Culture, société et technique (Secondary V), for the regular DEC path; the DEC-BAC (university-linked) path instead requires Mathématique Technico-sciences or Sciences naturelles at the Secondary V level. Neither page states a minimum grade average, an English-language test, a portfolio or an interview.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Cegep de Jonquiere admits through the regional SRASL portal (srasl.qc.ca), shared with the other Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean cegeps. Its own published schedule shows fall entry closing in three rounds (1 March, 1 May, 1 June) and winter entry closing in a single round (1 November), though the shared regional 2026-2027 SRASL guide adds a second winter round on 7 December 2026 plus a late-admission round handled directly by the college once the session starts. Fall 2027 dates are not yet published. International applicants use the same SRASL system on a continuous basis; per the SRASL guide, for the 2026-2027 cycle the international window closed 1 September 2026 for winter and 1 March 2026 for fall (French and Belgian nationals had until 1 May 2026), so by mid-September 2026 the winter 2027 international window has already closed; Jonquiere publishes no international-specific page of its own, so this figure rests on the regional guide alone. Most technical programmes admit for fall only; a smaller group, including nursing, natural sciences and the arts/humanities DECs, also admits in winter. None of these deadlines are rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
