PGDip in DESS en démographie

This postgraduate diploma offers a unique, applied approach to demography, building competencies in demographic analysis, data-analysis methods, and population projections using sources such as census data, parish records, and population files. The 30-credit programme follows a directed-work pathway or a non-thesis pathway, is delivered full-time with daytime courses at the Montreal campus, and full-time completion takes a minimum of two trimesters, with up to four years allowed from initial enrollment. Coursework builds practical skills in demographic data analysis, statistical methods, and population-projection techniques, culminating in a directed project or non-thesis completion depending on the pathway chosen. Graduates are prepared for analytical roles in government, public-health, planning, and research organizations that rely on demographic and population data, and the programme offers a pathway into further master's-level study for qualifying students.
