Program details
Overview
Techniques de laboratoire : Biotechnologies (210.AA) is a technical DEC at Collège Ahuntsic for students interested in biology and laboratory work. The page states that the program teaches students to carry out biochemical, microbiological, toxicological, and other laboratory analyses. It covers manipulating DNA, identifying and modifying microorganisms, and building knowledge of cell structure, along with laboratory techniques used in the production of medications and vaccines. Admission requires secondary-level mathematics (TS or SN) and chemistry prerequisites. As a science and technology laboratory program, it prepares graduates for technical roles in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food-science, and related laboratory settings, and provides a foundation for students who may continue into university studies in biological or biotechnological sciences. It suits students with strong attention to detail, an aptitude for chemistry and biology, and an interest in hands-on scientific analysis and laboratory technique over purely theoretical study, who want a technical credential that leads directly into laboratory-based work in the life-sciences sector.

Admission Requirements: Particular conditions (beyond the College's general DES/DEP admission conditions): TS or SN mathematics from 5th secondary, or Mathematics 526; Chemistry from 5th secondary, or Chemistry 534.

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.
