Diploma in Science, Pure and Applied is a diploma in Natural Sciences programme offered by Marianopolis College in Westmount, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 17,244 per year (CAD 8,160 per year for local students).
This pre-university Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) at Marianopolis College is delivered in English over two years and four semesters and emphasizes the natural sciences with substantial laboratory work. Core coursework covers mathematics including differential and integral calculus, linear algebra, and probability and statistics; chemistry, including general and solutions chemistry; physics, including mechanics, waves, and electricity and magnetism; biology, including cellular biology and ecology and evolution; and programming applied to science, alongside English, French, humanities, and physical-education requirements. Students choose electives such as digital electronics, computer science, or technical drawing to broaden their preparation. The program suits students who are curious about the natural world and enjoy hands-on experimentation and mathematical problem-solving, and admission is based on specific secondary-level mathematics, chemistry, and physics results. Graduates typically continue into university studies in architecture, chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics, and physics, forming a general foundation for science-based degree programs.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:83.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Pure and Applied Science program requires a Quebec Diploma of Secondary Studies or its equivalent, plus Secondary V Chemistry, Secondary V Physics, and Secondary V Mathematics TS or Mathematics SN. Secondary IV and V Mathematics TS or SN must each be passed at a minimum of 80%, the combined Science and Mathematics average must reach at least 85%, and the overall average must be at least 83%. Graduates must also pass either the English Exit Exam (holders of a Certificate of Eligibility) or the French Exit Exam, Epreuve uniforme de francais (applicants without the certificate). English and French language proficiency during the application process follow Marianopolis College's general entrance requirements: applicants who completed secondary school outside Canada with fewer than three years of English instruction must submit an external English test - TOEFL iBT 90 (minimum 21 per section), IELTS Academic 6.5, or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency at grade C or better - and applicants without a Certificate of Eligibility educated outside Quebec must instead sit a French proficiency test (DELF B2 67/100, TCF 467/699, or TEF 467/699).
Application Details
Start Date:Fall
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to Marianopolis through its own Omnivox portal rather than SRAM. As published on the college's site, the Fall 2026 intake's online application was open with a deadline of 1 March 2026, and late applications are reviewed only after on-time files, and only if space remains; the site had not yet posted Fall 2027 dates as of 14 September 2026. International (temporary-resident) applicants were urged to apply by 15 February 2026 because of immigration-document processing times, with no international application accepted after 1 March 2026. Admission is not rolling: both streams run to a firm deadline, with limited late acceptance once on-time files are cleared. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
