Program details
Overview
Graphisme (570.G0) is a three-year technical DEC at Cégep de Sherbrooke, admitting students in the fall, that trains students to develop creative visual projects that translate ideas and communicate messages. The program page lists a range of application areas covered, including visual identity, publishing, illustration, photography, packaging, advertising, entrepreneurship, kinetic design, and interface design. Students learn to design visual projects for both print and digital media by analyzing briefs and combining hand-based creative work with digital tools, including the ethical use of artificial intelligence in design workflows. Students are required to own a MacBook Pro meeting minimum specifications set by the college's device program, though the necessary software is provided as part of the program. It suits students who are passionate about communication and visual design, interested in new technologies, creatively and artistically inclined, and methodical with strong visualization skills, typically as preparation for a career or further study in graphic design, visual communication, or related creative industries.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Beyond the Cégep's general admission conditions (a DES carrying the required units in language of instruction, second language and mathematics — with levelling activities due by the end of the first or second session for students short on those units, or an equivalent formation including studies completed outside Quebec), this technical DEC's own page states no additional academic course prerequisite. Its only specific condition is technical: applicants must own a MacBook Pro meeting the Cégep's mandatory AVEC-project minimum specifications, with required software supplied by the institution. No portfolio, entrance exam, interview, language test score or minimum GPA is published for this programme.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM), which also covers cégeps outside the Montreal region: Winter 2027 entry opens 15 September 2026, with a round-one deadline of 1 November 2026 and a round-two deadline of 25 November 2026; Fall 2027 entry follows SRAM's recurring round-one deadline of 1 March 2027, though the cégep's site has not yet posted a dated row for that cycle (its Fall 2026 table is marked as closed). International applicants follow a separate SRAM timeline, confirmed directly on the cégep's site: Fall 2027 applications run from 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027, and Winter 2028 applications run from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Admission is not open-ended rolling, but SRAM runs successive rounds for as long as places remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
