Offered by Vanier College in Montréal, Canada, Diploma in Sciences humaines et Musique is a diploma in Music programme. The programme runs for 3 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition is CAD 3,740 per year for local students.
Social Science and Music (300.11) is a three-year Double DCS pre-university program at Vanier College combining the college's established Social Science and Music programs so students graduate with two separate diplomas. On the social science side, students take courses spanning disciplines such as anthropology, history, and psychology; on the music side, they develop their playing or singing through technique study, performance opportunities, and independent research projects. The dual structure lets students go deep in both areas rather than choosing one, at the cost of a heavier overall course load than either program alone. Admission requires secondary-level Math CST 563 (or equivalent) for the social science component, along with an audition on the student's principal instrument or voice and an entrance exam in music theory and ear training. The program suits students who want to keep both an academic social-science path and serious musical training open at the pre-university level, preparing them for further study or careers in performance, education, music therapy, or social-science fields such as marketing, economics, political science, journalism, law, or psychology.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Social Science and Music applicants need Mathematics CST 563-404/414 (or cégep-equivalent 201-012-RE) for the social-science component, on top of Vanier's college-wide Quebec secondary-school baseline. Music 502 (or cégep-equivalent 551-004-VA) is recommended but not required; all applicants must complete an audition on their principal instrument or voice plus an entrance exam in theory and ear training, detailed on Vanier's music-auditions page. No IELTS/TOEFL-style English score applies: Vanier's admissions pages confirm English-proficiency testing is no longer required, while a CEFR B2 French test (TCF, DELF, DALF or TEF) is required only of out-of-province/international applicants who did not complete Quebec secondary schooling.
