Program details

Overview

This Diploma of Graduate Studies (DESS) in Environmental Engineering is a 30-credit second-cycle program at ÉTS Montréal for engineers and professionals seeking advanced knowledge in the field. Students follow one of three pathways: two mandatory workshops plus five courses and a project, eight courses and a technical report, or ten courses alone. Full-time completion normally takes four sessions; part-time completion takes eight sessions. Courses are offered during the day, evening, and in some intensive formats, with full-time and part-time study available. Admission cycles run in Fall, Winter, and Summer. Instruction is in French. The DESS is designed as a bridge into ÉTS's Master's program in Environmental Engineering, letting graduates apply completed credits toward that degree, while also functioning as a standalone graduate credential for professionals who want applied training in environmental engineering without pursuing a full master's.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.00 / 4.3

Admission Requirements: Admission requires a bachelor's degree, or equivalent, in engineering, pure sciences, or applied sciences, with a minimum cumulative average of 3.0/4.3; candidates averaging 2.8-3.0 may be admitted after individual file review. Alternatively, candidates may qualify through necessary knowledge, appropriate training, and relevant experience. Candidates must demonstrate sufficient knowledge of French, and English reading proficiency is advised given the program's extensive English-language materials.
