Short Graduate Program in Financial Engineering

This multidisciplinary graduate certificate, developed with the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, covers high-level mathematical tools, advanced modelling and computation techniques, modern finance, and quantitative analysis, with an emphasis on forecasting and risk modelling. The program comprises five courses and two mandatory workshops totalling five hours, for 15 credits overall, and is offered part-time only, with courses scheduled during the day, evening, or in an intensive format. Admission is available for the fall, winter and summer terms. Entry requires a bachelor's degree in engineering, applied sciences, or a related field, completed with a minimum cumulative average of 3.0 on a 4.3 scale; applicants averaging between 2.8 and 3.0 may be admitted following a file review. Candidates may also qualify through appropriate training and relevant experience. Sufficient knowledge of French is required, and students unable to read English readily may face difficulties given the extent of English-language course materials. Credits earned may be applied toward related Master's degree programs.
