Program details

Overview

The Baccalaureat en genie biotechnologique is a full-time, cooperative-education bachelor's degree in engineering at Universite de Sherbrooke, admitting students each fall at the Sherbrooke campus. Over 121 credits, students build a foundation in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biochemistry and biology before applying chemical- and process-engineering principles to the design, simulation, scale-up and operation of biotechnological processes involving living organisms and their derivatives. The curriculum integrates paid co-op work terms with academic semesters and includes coursework in process instrumentation, control, project design and life-cycle analysis, along with training in workplace health, safety and biosafety. Students may pursue an integrated pathway into the Maitrise en genie chimique, or an international profile allowing up to a full year of co-op study abroad. The programme is recognized by a professional engineering order and addresses sustainable-development principles throughout. It admits international students, with paid co-op placements available to them, and leads to a Bachelière ou bachelier en ingenierie.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a DEC in Natural Sciences (200.B1), a DEC in Science, Literature and Art (700.A1), an International Baccalaureate diploma (200.Z1), an equivalent DEC combined with specific prerequisite courses in cell biology, general and solution chemistry, differential and integral calculus, linear algebra, mechanics, and electricity and magnetism, or a DEC in Laboratory Technology with a specialization in Biotechnology (210.AA).
