Program details
Overview
Arts, Letters and Communication is a pre-university Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC, program code 500.HX) offered by Cégep Garneau in Quebec City, with admission in fall and winter; students admitted in winter complete the program over five sessions instead of four. The curriculum spans literature and language studies, visual and applied arts, film and cinema, cultural history, and communications and media, with language instruction available in English, Spanish and German. Students choose one of six profiles, all leading to the same DEC: Exploration, a broad multidisciplinary option; Visual Creation; Cinema; Literature; Languages, Peoples and Cultures; and Immersion, which includes a fourth-semester study period in Europe. Coursework includes hands-on projects such as short films, art exhibitions and theatrical productions, supported by video editing suites, a green-screen studio and multimedia language labs. The program suits students with an interest in the arts, media, languages or cultural studies who intend to pursue university studies in fields such as literature, communications, fine arts, film or language studies.
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRACQ (Service régional d'admission au collégial de Québec) for programmes starting in 2027: the Fall 2027 intake has a first-round deadline of 1 March 2027, with further rounds on 1 May, 1 June and 1 August 2027 filling remaining seats; the Winter 2027 intake closes its first round on 1 November 2026, then 1 December 2026 and 2 January 2027. International applicants outside France apply through SRACQ from 1 September 2026 and must complete their file by 1 February 2027 for Fall 2027 entry, after which no international candidate can be admitted; Winter entry is offered only to French citizens, who may apply until 1 May 2027 for Fall or between 15 May and 15 October 2027 for Winter 2028. Admission is not indefinitely rolling: each round carries a firm cut-off, though later rounds absorb whatever seats remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
