Requirements
Admission Requirements: For domestic applicants the page lists three accepted secondary credentials: the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent; Quebec's Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES); or New Brunswick's Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES). Applicants 19 or older without a diploma may instead pass La Cité's French-language mature-applicant test. Applicants who do not already meet the college's English requirement must pass its English-as-a-second-language test at the 'basic' level; the page notes that a good command of English is necessary because of the course texts used in class and the work placement. International applicants must hold a secondary-school diploma or baccalaureate, or be in their final year of secondary school with proof of enrolment. La Cité describes its admission process as competitive because of limited capacity, and states that admission is never guaranteed even when every published requirement is met. Instruction is otherwise in French; the page gives no numeric English-test score and no minimum GPA.
Application Details
Start Date:Starts in autumn (September) or winter (January). La Cité's international application guide adds that a programme begun in winter carries a compulsory spring term.
Application Deadline:No fixed cut-off published for this programme. La Cité classes it as a regular (non-quota) programme, which means it keeps taking applications while places remain and makes an offer once the file is complete.
