Diploma in Sciences de la nature et Musique is a diploma in Natural Sciences & Mathematics programme taught at Cegep de Trois-Rivieres in Trois-Rivières, Canada. The programme runs for 3 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition is CAD 3,740 per year for local students.
Sciences de la nature/Musique (200.11) is a Double-DEC pre-university program at Cégep de Trois-Rivières that combines the Sciences de la nature (Natural Sciences) program with a parallel music program, completed together over three years rather than the usual two. According to the program page, students strengthen their musical abilities while developing scientific knowledge, exploring elements of musical language such as ear training, rhythmic sense, and memory alongside becoming familiar with scientific vocabulary and the methods of an experimental approach. Coursework includes mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biology on the science side. On the music side, students choose between jazz-pop and classical streams for instrumental training and select among creation, performance, and voice-and-stage profiles for workshops and complementary training. The page describes it as a way to complete two pre-university programs within three years rather than pursuing them separately. It suits students who want to keep both a serious science background and active musical training during their collegial studies, and who plan to pursue university studies afterward in either science-related fields, music, or both.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to Sciences de la nature et Musique (double DEC) requires Cégep de Trois-Rivières' general college admission conditions plus secondary 5 Mathematics (TS or SN stream), Chemistry, and Physics — or Mathématiques 536, Chimie 534, and Physique 534 for applicants from the former curriculum. Beyond the academic prerequisites, candidates must successfully pass a musical audition, for which the college provides a preparation document; the programme page treats the audition as a required admission step, not an optional one. The language requirement is satisfied through the DES's own secondary 5 language-of-instruction and second-language courses, and the college publishes no separate IELTS or TOEFL score for this programme. The programme remains open in the college's second SRAM admission round. No minimum grade average, interview beyond the audition, or work-experience condition is stated.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM): for Fall 2027 entry the equal-consideration date (1st round) is 1 March 2027, followed by a second round in early-to-mid April and a third around mid-to-late May, with the college noting exact round-2/3 dates vary slightly each year; Winter 2027 entry opened 15 September 2026 with a 1 November 2026 first-round deadline and a late-November second round. International applicants apply directly through SRAM as well and face a firm 14 March 2027 closing date for Fall 2027 day programmes, with the college advising early submission because of immigration-processing timelines; no separate winter international deadline is published. Admission proceeds round by round on a rolling basis until each round's seats are filled. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
