Program details
Overview
Science: Computer Science and Mathematics (200.C1) is a two-year pre-university Diploma of Collegial Studies at Vanier College that pairs the standard science core with a heavier emphasis on mathematics and programming. Alongside chemistry and physics, students take advanced mathematics courses covering calculus, algebra, statistics, and discrete mathematics, plus four dedicated programming courses that build practical coding skills earlier than a general science profile would. Admission is in the autumn and requires secondary-level Math TS/SN 506, Physics 504, and Chemistry 504 or equivalents. Students have access to resource centres, tutoring services, and enrichment opportunities throughout the program. This profile is aimed at students preparing for university study in engineering or the physical sciences generally, but the program page describes it as particularly suited to those planning to enter software engineering, computer engineering, game development, or other computer-science-related fields, since the extra programming and discrete-math coursework maps directly onto what those university programs expect from incoming students.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Computer Science and Mathematics applicants need Mathematics TS/SN 506, Physics 504 and Chemistry 504 (or their cégep equivalents), in addition to Vanier's college-wide Quebec secondary-school baseline (DES/DVS, Secondary 5 language courses, Secondary 4 mathematics, science and history); admitted students are advised to consult an Academic Advisor on university-transfer prerequisites. The programme page lists no portfolio, interview or age condition. No IELTS/TOEFL-style English score is required: Vanier's admissions pages confirm English-proficiency testing is no longer an admission requirement, while a CEFR B2 French test (TCF, DELF, DALF or TEF) applies only to out-of-province or international applicants who did not complete Quebec secondary schooling.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants to Vanier College apply through the shared SRAM portal (admission.sram.qc.ca) serving Montréal-region cégeps. For Winter 2027, applications opened 15 September 2026, Round 1 closes 1 November 2026 and Round 2 closes 25 November 2026, with unfilled seats carried forward. SRAM has not yet posted Fall 2027 domestic dates. Internationally, SRAM's Fall 2027 window runs 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027; its next window (Winter 2028) runs 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Admission is rolling by round, not a single fixed date. Vanier's own international-applicants page confirms international students use the same SRAM system as domestic ones, bound by the same round deadlines. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
