Program details
Overview
This bachelor's program (B.Sc.A.) in computer science builds a solid foundation in computer science fundamentals, covering systems analysis, programming languages, operating systems, algorithms, data structures, and the development of information systems for industrial, scientific, and organizational contexts. The program runs three years full-time for a total of 90 credits. Two mandatory paid internships of 12 to 15 weeks each are required, with up to two additional optional paid internships available. Several courses give students the opportunity to complete concrete projects that can be added to a professional portfolio. The program can be completed partially or fully online, with hybrid and comodal formats offered for select courses. It suits students who are drawn to problem-solving, innovation, systems, and technology, and who bring analytical thinking, mathematical aptitude, creativity, and teamwork skills. Graduates pursue roles such as software architect, security analyst, IT director, network manager, and programmer, working across sectors including business, healthcare, education, government, and technology firms.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Quebec applicants qualify directly with a DEC in Natural Sciences, Sciences Letters and Arts, or Computer Science and Mathematics; other DEC holders must complete a three-course mathematics sequence (calculus and linear algebra, under either the current or the older course codes) via Université Laval's equivalency table, with remedial coursework available within a two-session window. Applicants from outside Quebec need a secondary diploma plus one year of university study (Canada), or 13 years of pre-university education, or 12 years plus one year of higher education (international), with a background judged satisfactory in mathematics. Non-francophone applicants must pass the Test de connaissance du français (TCF tout public) with a minimum score of 331 out of 699 on the compulsory tests and 8 out of 20 on the written-expression component. Selection is based on the quality of the academic record; no separate minimum admission average is published.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic (Quebec and other-Canadian) applicants to Universite Laval apply per trimester: for Automne (Fall) 2027 entry, online applications open August 15, 2026, non-quota bachelor's applications are due March 1, 2027 (late until August 15, 2027) and non-quota graduate applications are due February 1, 2027; Hiver (Winter) 2027 applications are due November 1, 2026 (late until December 1, 2026). Quota programs -- MD, first-cycle PharmD, and bachelor's degrees in occupational therapy, physiotherapy, sexology and biomedical sciences -- close November 1, 2026 for Automne 2027, for all applicants. International applicants face firmer, earlier cutoffs (February 1, 2027 for Automne; July 1, 2026 for Hiver 2027; December 1, 2026 for Ete 2027) given 4-to-6-month immigration processing; a late international application is deferred to a later term rather than accepted for the term requested. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
