Program details
Overview
Techniques de l'informatique (420.B0) is a three-year technical DEC at Cégep de Trois-Rivières focused on developing software and applications to meet business needs, from web platforms to functional improvements on existing systems, along with providing technical support and training to end users. Coursework spans programming, networking, multimedia, data structures, and operating systems, together with project-management concepts covering human and financial resources. Students gain exposure to mobile application development, simulation, video games, and virtual reality, including work in a dedicated VR and connected-devices lab, and complete concrete projects built for real clients. The program offers a work-study (alternance travail-études) option with two paid internships plus a credited internship in the sixth term, and pairs first-year students with upper-year peer tutors. It suits students interested in designing and building web and business applications and who want hands-on exposure to current software-development tools before entering the workforce or transferring, through recognized university pathways, into further computing studies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to this DEC technique programme (420.B0) follows Cégep de Trois-Rivières' general collegial admission conditions: a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) from the youth or adult sector, or a Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) plus Secondary 5 language of instruction, Secondary 5 second language and Secondary 4 mathematics, applied for through the SRAM network. On top of this the programme itself requires Mathematics CST of Secondary 5, which Secondary 4 Technical/Science or Natural Science mathematics also satisfies. Students intending to continue into a university bachelor's degree after the DEC are advised to also complete Secondary 5 Technical/Science or Natural Science mathematics, needed for the college-level math courses that support that pathway. The programme page states no language-proficiency test, portfolio, interview or audition requirement beyond the general conditions.
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.
