Program details

Overview

This Diploma of Graduate Studies (DESS) in Construction Engineering, focused on design and rehabilitation projects, is a 30-credit second-cycle program at ÉTS Montréal for engineers and professionals working on civil infrastructure. It covers the design, execution, evaluation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of civil works such as roads, buildings, and engineering structures. Full-time completion takes four sessions (five maximum); part-time completion takes eight sessions (ten maximum). Courses are offered during the day, evening, and in some intensive formats, with both full-time and part-time study available. Admission cycles run in Fall, Winter, and Summer. Instruction is in French, and international applicants follow separate, earlier deadlines. The program provides applied graduate training in construction-project design and rehabilitation for professionals who want to deepen specialized expertise without enrolling in a full master's program, and serves as a standalone credential in civil infrastructure practice.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.00 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a bachelor's degree, or equivalent, in civil engineering, construction engineering, or a related field, with a minimum cumulative average of 3.0/4.3; candidates averaging 2.8-3.0 may be admitted after individual file review.
