Program details
Overview
Graphisme (570.G0) is a technical DEC at Collège Ahuntsic within the Techniques en Communications Graphiques field. It trains students in visual communication and graphic design: logo and brand-identity design, poster and advertising campaign work, website and mobile-app interface design, packaging, and motion design, using both traditional creative approaches and current digital tools, including AI as a design aid. The page states the program includes an alternance travail-études structure with two paid summer internships totalling up to six months of work experience, recorded on the transcript with an ATE designation, and a Bridge (passerelle) agreement crediting DEP graduates in Infographie from the Centre de services scolaires de Laval into the DEC. It reports a graduate placement rate of 79% in fields such as advertising agencies, graphic and web design studios, publishing, and government organizations, and a DEC-BAC bridge crediting up to 18 university credits toward Université Laval's baccalauréat in graphic design. It suits creative, detail-oriented, and self-directed students comfortable with color distinctions and hands-on digital tools, who want a direct path into design work or a head start on related university studies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program page sets no course prerequisite beyond a Diplome d'etudes secondaires (DES). Under the College's general regulation R-11, applicants may also qualify with an equivalent Diplome d'etudes professionnelles plus the required upgrading courses, or with training and experience the College judges sufficient, provided they hold eligible citizenship or immigration status. Applicants whose Secondary 5 language of instruction was not French must pass the College's own French-language test. A DEP/DEC bridge agreement between College Ahuntsic and the Centre de services scolaires de Laval lets some Infographics DEP courses count toward this DEC on admission. Admission is processed through SRAM, for the Fall session only.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM): Collège Ahuntsic's own site confirms it follows SRAM's standard three-round system for Fall entry and two-round system for Winter entry, which for the current cycle puts the Fall 2027 equal-consideration date at 1 March 2027 and the Winter 2027 equal-consideration date at 1 November 2026 (applications opening 15 September 2026), with later rounds in late April, late May and late November while seats remain. International applicants apply through the same SRAM portal; SRAM's system-wide window for Fall 2027 international entry runs from 15 March 2026 to a firm closing date of 14 March 2027, with no winter international date published for the college. Admission is rolling round to round until each round's seats are filled. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
