Program details
Overview
Architectural Technology (221.A0) is a three-year career Diploma of Collegial Studies at Vanier College covering architectural drawing, building systems and materials, and structural mechanics, alongside design, construction, renovation, and building-management principles. Learning is reinforced through regular field visits to notable buildings and architectural sites and through guest lectures from working industry professionals, giving students exposure to real projects rather than only classroom drawings. A two-week internship in the final semester lets students apply their technical skills in an actual workplace before graduating. Admission requires specific secondary-level mathematics (TS or SN sequence) and science courses (ST or ATS sequence), reflecting the technical drafting and structural content of the curriculum. The program suits students who want to combine an interest in design with hands-on technical training, preparing them either to enter the workforce directly in architecture, construction, engineering, or property development, or to continue into related university programs with the benefit of practical, industry-connected experience already behind them.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Architectural Technology (221.A0) requires Mathematics TS 564-406/426 or SN 565-406/426 (or cégep-equivalent 201-016-RE) and Science ST 555-404/444 or ATS 557-406/416 (or cégep-equivalent Physical Science 105-003-RE); Science STE 558-404 or SE 558-402 is highly recommended. These sit on top of Vanier's college-wide Quebec secondary-school baseline (DES/DVS, Secondary 5 language courses, Secondary 4 mathematics, science and history). No portfolio, interview or age condition is stated. No IELTS/TOEFL-style English score is required for admission: 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) is required only of 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.

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.
