Program details
Overview
This bachelor's program in social work at Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue trains students to intervene with individuals, families, groups, and communities facing vulnerability or marginalization, teaching them to analyze social situations within their broader social, political, economic, and environmental contexts. The curriculum balances theoretical study with practical application and includes two mandatory practicum placements that expose students to different work settings and client populations. The program is offered on campus at the university's Rouyn-Noranda, Mont-Laurier, and Val-d'Or locations, with a specialization related to Indigenous peoples available at the Val-d'Or campus, and a DEC-BAC pathway that shortens the path to the degree for qualified college graduates. Class sizes are kept small, giving students close contact with faculty. Completion of the program gives graduates access to Quebec's professional social work order. It suits students seeking to become social workers across settings such as integrated health and social service centres, schools, shelters, community organizations, government ministries, and Indigenous communities, working directly with vulnerable populations to support social participation and improved living conditions.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Standard entry is a Québec DEC or equivalent; holders of a DEC in Social Work Techniques awarded within the previous five years with an R-score of 24.5 or above are recognised for 30 university credits toward the degree. UQAT also admits on a university base (a minimum of 15 university credits completed at the time of application, plus a motivation letter following the programme's published guidelines) or on an experience base (age 21 or over, with 12 months of paid or volunteer work relating to intervention with individuals, groups, organisations or associations, a motivation letter, and conditional admission pending completion of course EDU2530 within 12 months, with the programme possibly also recommending SCH2001 or TSO1114). Every base requires proof of French proficiency under UQAT's institutional policy, as the programme page defers language requirements to it.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:UQAT's admission page states only that online applications open each term - September for Fall, 1 March for Winter and June for Summer - without giving a closing date for any of its bachelor's programmes (Mining Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Digital/3D/Video Game Creation, Social Work). No separate international deadline, and no programme-specific deadline for engineering or digital-creation programmes, is published on the general admission, international-student, or engineering-school pages; UQAT directs both domestic and international applicants to contact the registrar or the relevant program office for exact timing. The university does not describe its admission as rolling in these terms, but no fixed closing date for the 2026-2027 cycle appears anywhere checked. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
