Program details

Overview

This postgraduate diploma trains health professionals in specialized sleep-disorder intervention. The 30-credit programme runs full-time or part-time, with daytime courses offered mainly at the Laval campus and some courses at the Montreal campus, and includes mandatory internships. Full-time completion takes a minimum of two trimesters, with up to twelve trimesters (four years) allowed from initial enrollment. Coursework builds specialized clinical knowledge of sleep physiology and sleep disorders, combined with supervised practicum placements in sleep-related health or social-services settings where candidates apply assessment and intervention techniques under supervision. Because some placements occur in settings with specific legal requirements, candidates should be aware this may affect their participation. Graduates are prepared for specialized clinical and intervention roles addressing sleep disorders within health and social-services organizations, building on an existing background in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or a related field.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or a related health or social-services field, and submit a motivation letter along with a curriculum vitae detailing experience in helping relationships or the health field.
