Overview

About this program

Studying fundamental and applied sciences at UdeM

Intended for international or Canadian applicants with a secondary school diploma (DES) from outside Quebec, the 4-year bachelor's provides the ideal opportunity to complete your studies in fundamental and applied sciences at UdeM. With this unique program, you can immediately pursue your field of study by taking specific courses in your chosen discipline and preparatory courses in your first year. And the good news? Only a single admission application is required. 

Note that quota (or limited-enrolment) programs, where the number of UdeM applications exceeds the number of available places, are not offered in the 4-year pathway. Should you wish to take a program that isn't offered in the 4-year path, you will need to submit one application for the preparatory year, plus a second application for the disciplinary program you are interested in. 

  • Program for students who received their secondary school diploma outside Quebec
