Requirements

Admission Requirements: Regular entry is open to holders of a Quebec DEC with appropriate general knowledge. Etudes-hors-Quebec applicants need an appropriate diploma obtained outside Quebec after at least 13 years of schooling, a minimum average of 12/20, and completion of nine required support courses within 12 months; etudes-universitaires applicants need 15 completed university credits with a 2.3/4.3 cumulative average; a preparation-suffisante route admits candidates with knowledge judged sufficient for university study plus at least one year of full-time relevant management experience. Any candidate lacking college-level mathematics must complete the course 8MAT146 - Bases mathematiques within 12 months of first enrolling. Non-francophone applicants must pass a French test recognised by UQAC (TFI, TCF or TEF at B2/NCLC 8, or the DELF-B2 diploma) within 24 months of admission. There is no enrolment cap; full-time study is offered year-round (fall/winter), and part-time study is also offered in summer.

Application Details

Start Date: September and January
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens, permanent residents, protected persons and First Nations) apply directly to UQAC and, for non-quota programmes, may submit an admission application until the end of the course-registration period for the winter, summer or fall term, making admission effectively rolling; contingented (limited-enrollment) programmes instead hold applications to a per-programme deadline before reviewing them together. International applicants face fixed, earlier windows: for the 2025-2026 cycle the fall 2026 term ran from 2 September 2025 to 1 March 2026, while winter and summer 2026 closed on 1 August 2025 and 12 December 2025 respectively; as of September 2026 UQAC has not yet published the equivalent winter, summer or fall 2027 international dates. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
