Program details
Overview
This program leads to two credentials completed together over two years: the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma and Quebec's Diplome d'etudes collegiales (DEC) in Natural Sciences. Alongside the science curriculum, students complete the IB core, including a Theory of Knowledge course, an independent research extended essay, and the Creativity-Activity-Service (CAS) component focused on community engagement, plus an English course each semester. Students choose between a Sciences de la sante profile, preparing for university programs such as medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, or optometry, and a Sciences pures et appliquees profile, preparing for engineering, physics, or chemistry; both include coursework across chemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics. It is delivered full-time at the college's Montreal campus. The program suits academically strong, motivated students who want an internationally benchmarked, English-enriched course of study alongside their science preparation, and who are prepared for the additional workload of combining IB requirements with the standard DEC science curriculum.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:75.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Applicants need the Quebec Diploma of Secondary Studies (DES). The International Baccalaureate Natural Sciences programme's own page additionally requires Secondary 5 Mathematics in the Natural Sciences or Technico-Sciences sequence, plus Secondary 5 Physics and Secondary 5 Chemistry, and states a minimum overall secondary average of 75% and a minimum 75% average in science subjects, both calculated from compulsory Secondary 4 and 5 coursework. No language proficiency test is stated, though the programme's page describes an English-enrichment component; no interview requirement or application deadline is published. Over the two-year track students work toward both the IB Diploma and the Quebec DEC, and the programme's page describes it as intended for motivated, curious, hardworking and rigorous students.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf may apply directly to the college or through SRAM. As published on the college's own site, Automne 2026 admissions are now closed, and Hiver (Winter) 2027 admissions open on 15 September 2026 at noon; the college's FAQ separately recommends applying before 1 March each year since spots are limited, though no year is attached to that recurring advice and Automne 2027 dates are not yet posted. International candidates cannot apply for the Winter session unless they already hold a CAQ and study permit, and no fixed international deadline is published for the Fall intake. Admission is not stated as fully rolling; places are limited and early domestic files are favoured. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
