Techniques de l'informatique, offered with an artificial intelligence axis, is a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) technical program at Cegep de Rimouski spanning six trimesters. The curriculum combines foundational programming with AI-specific training, covering the design and training of machine learning models, software, web and mobile application development, database architecture for AI systems, and specialized areas such as robotics, computer vision, natural language processing and the Internet of Things. Students also learn to manage Windows and Linux infrastructure, networks and secure servers, provide technical support, and apply ethical considerations to technology solutions. The program includes an alternance travail-etudes (work-study) option and culminates in a final project integrating AI development with software engineering practice. It suits students interested in combining general software development skills with an emerging specialization in artificial intelligence, and does not require prior programming experience. Graduates pursue roles such as programmer, web developer, database manager, network administrator or IT consultant, with DEC-BAC and bridging pathways available into university bachelor's degrees. Admission requires Secondary IV or V mathematics in the culture, society and technique, technico-sciences, or natural sciences sequence.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission runs through Quebec's collegial admissions portal (SRACQ); applicants who meet the published requirements are generally admitted, and anyone missing a prerequisite can complete it through the Tremplin DEC pathway before starting the program. Required: a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) or its equivalent, plus Mathematics — either the Culture, société et technique sequence (5th year secondary) or the Technico-sciences or Sciences naturelles sequence (4th year secondary). The programme page states no separate language-proficiency test, minimum grade or average, portfolio, interview, or work-experience requirement beyond this course prerequisite and the DES itself.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall and Winter
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service regional d'admission au collegial de Quebec (SRACQ): for Fall 2027 entry the first-round deadline is 1 March 2027, with further rounds in May, June and August, and for Winter 2027 entry the first-round deadline is 1 November 2026, with further rounds in December and January. International applicants apply through SRACQ's separate international-student portal, but Cegep de Rimouski publishes no fixed international closing date, and requires a 7,000 CAD pre-admission deposit before issuing an admission letter. Domestic admission proceeds through successive SRACQ rounds rather than one hard cutoff, so later applicants are still considered while seats remain; no international deadline is published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
