The Graduate Diploma in Taxation (D.E.S.S. en fiscalité) is a 30-credit, second-cycle diploma covering the legal, accounting, administrative, and economic aspects of taxation, including the rules and statutes governing corporate taxation, international transactions, corporate reorganizations, and consumption taxes, along with research methods and tools used in tax law. Students without an undergraduate background in law or accounting complete bridging courses in those areas alongside the programme's core taxation courses. The programme is offered full-time or part-time, in day or evening sessions, delivered in hybrid format (alternating weekly between online and in-person classes) at the Centre-ville campus. Under certain conditions, graduates can continue into the Master of Laws (LL.M.) – Taxation. Career paths include tax research officer, tax accountant, tax advisor, and junior tax specialist.
