Program details
Overview
Computer Science Technology (Techniques de l'informatique) is a technical Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC), program code 420.B0, offered by Cégep de Victoriaville over six sessions (three years) of full-time study, roughly 29 to 31 hours per week, with three optional paid work-study internships available during the program. Coursework covers programming in several languages (including JavaScript, Python, C#, PHP, and TypeScript), web and mobile application development, 2D and 3D game development, database management, networking, introductory cybersecurity, Internet of Things applications, and emerging technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, alongside general education courses in philosophy, literature, English, and French throughout the program. DEC-BAC agreements let graduates continue into university bachelor's degrees in computer science, software engineering, IT engineering, or automation engineering. The program suits students who enjoy working with computers, think logically and analytically, and pay close attention to detail. Beyond further study, graduates can work as technicians for commercial enterprises, manufacturers, service companies, health care and education institutions, public agencies, or IT consulting firms, or pursue self-employment. General education textbooks cost roughly $485 to $810 across the program, with program-specific material costs varying by session.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to Techniques de l'informatique requires Mathématiques TS ou SN de la 4e secondaire, or Mathématiques CST de la 5e secondaire, plus the Cégep's general admission conditions. Those conditions call for a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) from the youth or adult sector, or a vocational diploma (DEP) supplemented by fifth-secondary language of instruction, fifth-secondary second language and fourth-secondary mathematics; the Cégep may require levelling courses for older diplomas and can admit applicants conditionally if they are short by up to six DES units, provided these are completed in the first semester. The program notes that additional prerequisites can apply for students pursuing a DEC-BAC university-transfer pathway, and directs them to the orientation service for details. Instruction is French-medium; no separate English-language test score is published, and the program lists no portfolio or interview requirement.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRACQ (sracq.qc.ca): for the Fall 2027 (August) intake three admission rounds close 1 March, 1 May and 1 June 2027, and for Winter 2027 (January) entry rounds close 1 November, 1 December 2026 and 2 January 2027, each later round admitting only while seats remain. The Cegep does not publish a fixed international application deadline; international applicants follow a separate admission process and must hold a valid CAQ and study permit by the start of August for Fall entry, so early application is recommended. Admission is otherwise processed on a rolling basis as documents are received. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
