Program details
Overview
Computer Science at Cégep Heritage College is a three-year co-op program focused on secure web application development using an object-oriented modelling approach. The program takes a hands-on, project-based approach, teaching students languages and technologies including Java, C#, Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, ASP.NET, PHP, Node.js and MVC frameworks, and to model and design SQL and unstructured databases across Linux, Windows and Windows Server environments covering hardware, operating systems, networking and IT security; the program also introduces current topics such as machine learning and IoT. Students build a real-world web application in a team setting, working with a client through requirements, design, implementation, testing and deployment using an Agile methodology, developing communication, teamwork and professional skills. Two paid work placements give students industry experience and contacts, and the program describes a high co-op placement rate. Graduates are described as prepared for roles such as software developer, full stack web developer, mobile application developer, database administrator, quality assurance professional and technical support specialist, or for continuing to a university degree. The program suits students aiming for a technical, employment-ready diploma in software development.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: the Winter 2027 intake opened 15 September 2026, with a round-1 deadline of 1 November 2026 and a round-2 deadline of 25 November 2026; Fall 2027 round dates had not been posted as of September 2026, though the college's own page shows a recurring pattern of applications opening in mid-January and round 1 closing 1 March. International applicants apply through the same SRAM service: the Fall 2027 window opened 15 March 2026 and closes 14 March 2027, after which no international candidate can be admitted; the equivalent Winter deadline for the current cycle (31 May 2026, for Winter 2027 entry) has already passed. Admission runs in fixed rounds rather than staying open indefinitely, though later rounds absorb remaining seats. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
