Degree requirements

Credits and degree requirements

Published programme workload: 90 crédits.
90 crédits
Programme sheet: 90 credits. UQAM’s comparative table explicitly defines the regular full-time bachelor’s framework as three years and teaching/engineering as four years. Programme-specific regulations and prior-credit decisions remain applicable.
The first two years share a 60-credit core. The third year contributes 30 credits in one of the three specializations.
