Program details

Overview

The DESS en travail social (avec stage) (Graduate Diploma in Social Work, with internship) at Université de Montréal is a 30-credit specialized postgraduate diploma for entering or advancing in social work practice. The curriculum covers three intervention methodologies, individual, group and collective, through courses such as principles and perspectives in social work, individual/couple/family intervention, group intervention, and collective intervention methodology, combined with reflection on professional identity. The program includes a 560-hour internship in a practice setting with an integration seminar. It is offered full-time or part-time with daytime classes; the minimum full-time duration is two terms, with up to twelve terms (four years) permitted from initial enrolment. On its own, the diploma does not grant access to Quebec's professional social work order (OTSTCFQ); pursuing the university's master's program is required for that credential and for private practice.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree from a Quebec, Canadian or international institution (specific accepted diplomas vary by jurisdiction). The application must include a curriculum vitae and a letter of intent or motivation.
