Program details
Overview
Techniques de pharmacie is a three-year technical DEC at Collège de Rosemont preparing students to work alongside pharmacists delivering personalized patient care in community and hospital settings. The program takes an interdisciplinary approach: courses in pharmacotherapy, pharmacology, and biology taken in the same session often draw on shared patient files, examined from each course's own angle, to build an integrated understanding of medication pathways and their effects on patients. Students develop clinical judgment alongside technical, administrative, and supply-management skills, and take part in learning situations modelled on real community and hospital pharmacy work. Intensive clinical placements (stages) totalling 14 weeks support rapid workplace integration, drawing on the concentration of community pharmacies and hospital centres around Montreal, where more than 43% of the province's community pharmacies are located. Merit-based bursaries from pharmaceutical-sector partners reward qualities such as analytical thinking, rigour, empathy, and professionalism. Admission requires a secondary diploma with a physics prerequisite, and prior learning recognition (RAC) is available for holders of a related vocational diploma. Graduates typically become pharmacy technicians. The program suits students seeking a clinically oriented, patient-facing role within the pharmacy team rather than the pharmacist role itself.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a Quebec secondary school diploma (DES) and satisfying the general conditions of the Régime des études collégiales, per the programme's own admission page and the college's matching institution-wide baseline. This Pharmacy Technology programme additionally names one prerequisite: Physical Science (STE 4e, SE 4e, or Sciences physiques 436). No English or French language-proficiency test score is published; the page sets no language condition beyond the DES itself. The programme does not admit applicants without the legal right to reside in Canada. Prior-learning recognition (Reconnaissance des acquis et des compétences) is available to holders of a vocational diploma (DEP) in pharmacy. It is non-quota, normally admitting every eligible first-round SRAM applicant, with about 80 Fall places and no new Winter intake; students planning university studies in pharmacy are advised they must instead complete the Sciences de la nature pre-university programme.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: Fall 2027 entry's first-round deadline is 1 March 2027; Winter 2027 entry opens 15 September 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 November 2026. International applicants also apply through SRAM: the Fall 2027 deadline is 14 March 2027; the Winter 2027 international window already closed 31 May 2026, so the live one is Winter 2028 entry, closing 31 May 2027. Because of Quebec's international quota, Collège de Rosemont opened only seven programmes to international students for 2026-2027 — Techniques de l'informatique, Techniques d'administration et de gestion, Techniques de recherche et de gestion de données, Techniques d'aménagement et d'urbanisme, Arts lettres et communication, Sciences humaines, and Histoire et civilisation. Admission is not rolling beyond SRAM's rounds. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
