Diploma in Sciences, informatique et mathématique is a diploma in Computer Sciences programme taught at Cegep de Saint Hyacinthe in Saint-Hyacinthe, Canada. The programme runs for 4 semesters. Teaching is in French. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,150 per year (CAD 3,740 per year for local students).
Sciences, informatique et mathématique is a pre-university DEC aimed at students who want a scientific program closely tied to information technology. It combines physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science in a balanced curriculum, opening the way to university studies in science, computer science, mathematics, and engineering, and toward application areas such as 3D animation and digital design, video-game creation, digital creation, artificial intelligence, and cryptography. Teaching emphasizes hands-on, project-based learning, with programming coursework included in every term and equipment that is described as varied and regularly renewed. Students have access to help centres in chemistry, mathematics, and physics, along with individual tutoring support aimed at helping them succeed, and some students have the opportunity to work on computer-science projects for real users. It suits students who enjoy both scientific reasoning and computing, and who want a pre-university path that keeps university options open across the sciences, computer science, mathematics, and engineering while building applied programming skills.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) with Secondary 5 Technical and Scientific (TS) or Natural Science (SN) mathematics, or Mathematics 536, plus Secondary 5 Chemistry (or Chemistry 534) and Secondary 5 Physics (or Physics 534). As with all Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe programs, admission is processed through SRAM (admission.sram.qc.ca); a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) is the general entry basis. Applicants whose Secondary 5 written French mark was 65% or below and whose overall average was under 75% are placed in the upgrading course 601-013-HY before taking program-level French; a French-mastery test is required at application for those who did not take regular Secondary 5 French or who studied outside Quebec, and applicants from outside Quebec whose mother tongue is not French must submit an approved international French test (the Cégep recommends Bright) with their SRAM file. Every admitted student also sits an English placement test that sets their starting English course level.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants to Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe apply through the shared SRAM portal (admission.sram.qc.ca) serving Montréal-region cégeps. For Winter 2027, applications opened 15 September 2026, Round 1 closes 1 November 2026 and Round 2 closes 25 November 2026, with unfilled seats carried forward. SRAM has not yet posted Fall 2027 domestic dates. Internationally, SRAM's Fall 2027 window runs 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027; its next window (Winter 2028) runs 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Admission is rolling by round, not a single fixed date. The college's own site confirms SRAM processes all Montérégie cégep applications, and flags that Interprétation théâtrale requires auditions ahead of the SRAM application. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
