This postgraduate diploma trains specialists in rehabilitation intervention for people with visual impairments. The 30-credit programme runs full-time or part-time, with daytime courses at the Montreal campus and mandatory internships in the field. Full-time completion takes a minimum of two trimesters, with up to four years allowed at part-time status. Coursework combines theoretical grounding in vision rehabilitation with supervised clinical placements, in which candidates learn to assess functional vision loss and deliver rehabilitation strategies that support daily-living skills and independence. Because some placements occur in settings with specific legal requirements, a background check and up-to-date vaccinations may be required. Graduates are prepared for rehabilitation-specialist roles in vision-support and rehabilitation organizations. Admissions to this option are currently suspended, and the university directs prospective applicants to its related Master's programme in vision sciences.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree from a recognized institution and submit a letter of intent or motivation, a curriculum vitae, and a financial profile, along with two letters of recommendation. A background check and up-to-date vaccinations may be required for placements in healthcare or social-services settings.
