Program details

Overview

This program leads to a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering, a 120-credit, full-time cooperative degree completed over five years at the University of Sherbrooke's main campus, with admission in the fall term. Coursework covers the software and hardware architecture of computer systems, software engineering, computer-systems electronics, and telecommunications and networks. Of the 120 credits, 99 are mandatory, 12 are elective — allowing students to focus on areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, advanced cybersecurity, or deep learning — and 3 are free-choice. Three major capstone design projects run through the degree, giving students applied experience integrating what they have learned. The co-op structure alternates study sessions with five four-month paid work terms, totalling about 20 months of workplace experience before graduation. The program is designed for students holding a Quebec DEC (or equivalent) in a science or technology program, and it looks for versatility, curiosity, and the ability to work in teams. It suits those wanting a hardware-and-software engineering foundation combined with sustained industry placement.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants qualify through a DEC in Sciences of Nature (200.B1), Sciences, Letters and Arts (700.A1), the International Baccalaureate (200.Z1), or Sciences Informatique et Mathematique (200.C1); alternatively, any DEC combined with biology, general chemistry, chemistry of solutions, differential calculus, integral calculus, linear algebra and vector geometry, mechanics physics, and electricity and magnetism also qualifies, as does a DEC in technical physics with six specified mathematics and physics courses, or a DEC in industrial electronics, electronics, electronic design, engineering physics (244.A0), ordinal systems, avionics, or computer techniques (420.A0 and related codes). Applicants who completed secondary studies outside the Quebec collegial system must first complete the university's preparatory certificate for first-cycle programs. All candidates must demonstrate a minimum mastery of French, reaching CEFR level C1 (score of at least 500 out of 699) across all four fundamental competencies.

Application Details

Start Date: September
Application Deadline: Domestic (Quebec and other Canadian) applicants apply directly to Universite de Sherbrooke: for full-time undergraduate programmes the Winter 2027 deadline is 1 November 2026 and the Fall 2027 deadline is 1 March 2027, with later dates for part-time study. International applicants must apply earlier for visa processing, with a Fall 2027 deadline of 15 January 2027; the equivalent Winter international deadline (1 June) falls the preceding year, so Winter 2027 international applications closed 1 June 2026. The School of Management and Faculty of Education publish their own program-specific dates that are actually later (more time to apply) than the general undergraduate dates, while the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences uses earlier dates for most of its M.D. admission categories. None of these are described as rolling; they are published as firm final deadlines. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
