This Certificate in Sciences is a 30-credit undergraduate program offered at the Universite de Sherbrooke's Faculte des sciences, on a full-time basis, with admission in the fall, winter and summer terms at the Sherbrooke campus. It is designed mainly for international students who want to deepen their theoretical and practical knowledge in a science discipline, typically while completing part of their home-university program at the Universite de Sherbrooke. Students choose one of eight specialty blocks - health biochemistry, biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, pharmacology, physics, or quantum information science - and take 24 to 30 optional credits from the corresponding bachelor's program's courses, plus 0 to 6 free-elective credits, to develop fundamental knowledge and master the concepts and methods specific to that discipline.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must be enrolled, at a university outside Quebec, in a program related to one of the certificate's specialty blocks. They must have obtained a grade of at least 11 out of 20 in their most recent year of study; this benchmark can vary by country given differences in grading practices between countries. The program is offered on a full-time basis at the Sherbrooke campus, with admission in the fall, winter and summer terms, and is open to admission for international students in the regular course of study.
