PGDip in DESS en édition numérique

The DESS en édition numérique (Graduate Diploma in Digital Publishing) at Université de Montréal is a 30-credit specialized postgraduate diploma organized around three axes: theoretical study of the history and foundations of print and digital publishing and its cultural, social, economic and scientific impacts; technological training in digital publishing platforms, information architecture, ergonomics, accessibility and metadata; and practical project management of digital publishing from conception through distribution. The program is offered full-time or part-time, with day and evening courses, so that students can work while completing the diploma. The minimum full-time duration is two terms, though most students take longer, with a maximum of four years from initial enrolment. It is intended for holders of a first degree seeking specialized training in digital publishing methods and technologies.
