Program details

Overview

This bachelor's program awards a Bachelor of Engineering in Robotics Engineering through a 120-credit, full-time cooperative curriculum completed over five years at the University of Sherbrooke, alternating study sessions with five four-month paid work terms for about 20 months of workplace experience. The program integrates mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to build competency in designing roboticized systems for applications such as personal assistance, assisted surgery, space exploration, intelligent vehicles, and drones, as well as managing multidisciplinary robotics projects and practicing engineering with attention to societal and environmental impact. Of the total credits, 96 are mandatory and cover robotics-specific courses — including industrial robotics, mobile robot design, control systems, and computer vision — alongside foundational mathematics and engineering courses, while 12 to 15 elective credits let students specialize further in areas such as deep learning, bioengineering, or artificial intelligence. The program suits candidates with a strong technical background who value versatility, problem-solving, and learning through hands-on projects and real-world applications rather than lecture-only instruction.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission follows the university's general first-cycle condition. 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 chemistry (0C01), 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 electronics, electrical engineering, industrial electronics, engineering physics (244.A0), avionics (280.D0), computer systems (243.A0), mechanical engineering technology (241.A0), or aerospace engineering technology (280.B0). Non-Quebec applicants must first complete the Certificat preparatoire aux programmes de 1er cycle. All candidates must show CEFR level C1 French proficiency (a score of at least 500 out of 699) across all four competencies, or obtain a waiver.

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.
