Program details

Overview

This bachelor's program awards a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering through a 120-credit, full-time cooperative curriculum spanning five years at the University of Sherbrooke's main campus, with admission each fall. The program covers signals and systems, analog and digital electronics, electrical energy use, automation, and telecommunications. Its co-op structure alternates classroom sessions with five four-month paid work terms, giving students industry experience throughout their studies. Learning is organized around problem- and project-based engineering, engaging students in real engineering challenges from their first year rather than relying solely on lectures. The program is intended for holders of a Quebec DEC (or equivalent) in science or technical fields such as electronics, computer science, or physics, and it offers adapted tracks for students coming from technical DEC backgrounds as well as an accelerated integrated bachelor-master pathway for those planning to continue directly into graduate study. It suits students who want a strong theoretical grounding in electrical engineering paired with sustained, paid workplace experience.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission follows Universite de Sherbrooke's general first-cycle 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 Informatiques et Mathematiques (200.C1); alternatively, any DEC combined with cellular biology (0B01), general chemistry (0C01), chemistry of solutions (0C02), differential calculus (0M02), integral calculus (0M03), linear algebra and vector geometry (0M04), mechanics physics (0P01), electricity and magnetism (0P02) and waves and modern physics (0P03) also qualifies, as does a DEC in technical physics with the same courses, or a DEC in electronics, electrical, industrial electronics, engineering physics, systems, avionics, or computer technology. All candidates must prove a minimum mastery of French, reaching CEFR level C1 (score of at least 500 out of 699) across all four core competencies, or obtain a language exemption. The program admits for the Autumn trimester only, at the Sherbrooke campus.

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.
