Program details
Overview
Sciences de la nature (200.B0) is a two-year pre-university DEC providing foundational training across biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. The first year is common to all students, covering the four core disciplines before any specialization; in the second year, students choose between a Life Sciences and Health profile, which emphasizes biology and chemistry and leads toward fields such as medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, and physiotherapy, or a Science and Engineering profile, which emphasizes mathematics and physics and leads toward engineering, physics, mathematics, or computer science. The college offers laboratories with scientific instrumentation, an optional astronomy course making use of an on-site observatory, geology coursework, and a biology field mission to Costa Rica, along with a double-DEC option combining this program with a languages program and international exchange opportunities. Support services include a mathematics help centre and mentoring in chemistry and physics. Admission requires Secondary 5 Mathematics (Technico-sciences or Sciences naturelles sequence), Secondary 5 Chemistry, and Secondary 5 Physics. The program suits students planning university studies in the sciences, health fields, or engineering. It leads to a wide range of university programs, including actuarial science, the various engineering disciplines, medicine, dentistry, nursing, nutrition, pharmacology, physiotherapy, and the pure sciences.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission follows Cegep de Levis's general college requirements: a Quebec Diploma of Secondary Studies (DES) or Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP), equivalent training recognized by the college, or sufficient training and experience after at least 24 cumulative months away from full-time study. On top of this, the Sciences de la nature programme requires Mathematiques Technico-sciences 5e or Sciences naturelles 5e, Chimie 5e, and Physique 5e completed at the secondary level. Applicants admitted on a DEP must also have completed Secondary V language of instruction, Secondary V second language, and Secondary IV mathematics. Instruction is in French; the programme page does not publish a separate English or French proficiency test score, and the DES or DEP itself certifies the language of instruction. No portfolio, interview, or other condition is stated.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service regional d'admission au collegial de Quebec (SRACQ) in rounds: for Fall 2027 entry the first-round deadline is 1 March 2027 (recommended for contingented programmes), with further rounds on 1 May, 1 June and 1 August, and late registration still possible by appointment afterward; Winter 2027 entry has round deadlines of 1 November 2026, 1 December 2026, 2 January 2027 and 12 January 2027. International applicants apply through the same SRACQ process but the college publishes no fixed international closing date, only post-admission steps such as a 5,000 CAD tuition deposit and a CAQ/study permit process that can take 12 or more weeks. Admission runs through successive rounds rather than a single hard cutoff, so later applicants are still considered while seats remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
