French sources need careful reading

The institutional policy names accepted proof including TFI above 749 and the UQAT test. The international guidance uses a broader C1/C2 test list. Follow the registrar and program instructions for the actual file rather than blending these sources into an invented score table.

Current official sources

International French guidance conflict

Official-source conflict

The international page describes TFI, TCF, DELF, DALF, and TEF at C1/C2, while the institutional policy specifically states TFI above 749 and the UQAT-test route.

Use the program and registrar instructions; do not collapse these pages into one invented score grid.

Programs and Pathways

Programs, selection, and delivery

Match the program to its actual campus and intake

UQAT's regional model is a strength, but availability is not interchangeable across Rouyn-Noranda, Val-d'Or, Amos, Mont-Laurier, Montréal, centres, cohorts, and distance study.

3D creation

Selective Montréal bachelor's

Portfolio and letter accompany the file; current standing dates are February 1 international and March 1 Canadian, with supporting material by March 10.

Psychoeducation

Two internships plus 30 volunteer hours

The practicum structure belongs to this degree, not every UQAT program.

DEC–BAC nursing

24 qualifying-DEC credits recognized

The latest location/capacity table is for Fall 2026 and must be rechecked for Fall 2027.

Indigenous-specific studies

Programs and closed cohorts

Availability and cohort status must be checked rather than inferred from the UQ network.

Forest and environmental research

Boreal-region teaching and research

An undergraduate research microprogram uses project offers, an interview, and supervisor approval.

Regional delivery

Campuses, centres, service points, and online study

A catalogue listing does not mean the same intake exists in Rouyn-Noranda, Val-d'Or, Amos, Mont-Laurier, Montréal, or online.

3D creation is selective and Montréal-based

The current selection page scores academics or experience at 50%, portfolio at 25%, and the motivation letter at 25%. A catalogue search alone does not show that file requirement.

Official UQAT program sources

Residence and Campus Fit

Residence planning

Housing is location- and operator-specific

UQAT links housing in four communities, with SIUQ and the Amos CEGEP among the operators. Confirm the offer, lease, room format, and campus before budgeting.

Locations

Rouyn-Noranda, Val-d'Or, Amos, Notre-Dame-du-Nord

UQAT's page identifies multiple operators and different room formats by location.

Rouyn-Noranda / Val-d'Or guide rates

$540 or $515 per month per room

The current guide lists two-bedroom and four-bedroom apartment rates respectively, with a lease.

Included

Utilities, furniture, appliances, phone, and internet

Laundry is paid and parking is additional.

Amos

10 partner-residence places reserved

The Cégep de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue, not UQAT, operates the Amos residence.

Fall 2027 rates and guarantee

Pending

No reviewed first-party source publishes 2027–2028 rates or a university-wide first-year guarantee.

Fall 2027 housing remains pending

The current guide supports today's planning baseline, but it does not establish 2027–2028 rates or a first-year guarantee.

Live admission-award search

$1,000–$2,500 among reviewed postings

This is a range across distinct awards, not a guaranteed universal ladder.

International regional exemption

No new awards from 2026–2027

Existing recipients may continue under the original rules.

Fall 2027 award inventory

Pending

Students should rerun the live scholarship search for their program and status.

Keep immigration funds separate

International tuition excludes mandatory insurance, and a tuition table is not a full cost-of-attendance budget. Use the separate study-permit guide for the immigration layer.

Official UQAT tuition sources

Cost Planning

TuitionTuition depends on program, student status, and year. Verify domestic and international tuition on the official fee schedule.
ScholarshipsCheck automatic entrance awards, competitive major awards, faculty scholarships, and international-student awards.
Living CostsBudget for residence or rent, food, books, transit, health insurance, winter clothing, and emergency funds.
Proof of FundsInternational students should confirm current study-permit financial requirements and school-specific cost estimates.

Co-op, Research, and Career Outcomes

Internships and applied learning

UQAT uses program-specific stages

There is no single universal co-op promise. Compare the curriculum for the exact degree: creative programs, nursing, psychoeducation, social work, engineering, education, and environmental research use different practical models.

Creation and new media

8–10 weeks / 280 full-time hours

Third-year placements run between February and August, ideally March through June.

Nursing

17-day and 18-day clinical internships

The first-cycle degree names critical-care and community-health placements.

Psychoeducation

Two internships

The degree also includes 30 volunteer hours in first year.

University-wide boundary

No universal co-op program

UQAT publishes program-specific stages, an environmental research internship, and campus study-work.

Official UQAT internship sources

Career Planning

Experiential LearningCheck whether your target program offers co-op, internships, clinical placements, practicums, studios, field schools, or research terms.
Career ServicesCompare job boards, employer partnerships, resume support, interview preparation, and alumni mentoring.
Research AccessFor graduate-school or professional-school pathways, look for undergraduate research assistant roles and lab access.
Outcome QuestionsAsk where graduates work or study next, and whether outcomes differ by program, co-op stream, or campus.

UQAT applicants should use the confirmed 2027–2028 calendar while keeping each program’s prerequisites, selection, capacity, campus, and delivery mode separate. They should distinguish Quebec DEC, outside-Quebec and international, experience, prior-study recognition, DEC–BAC, and conditional-DEC routes; follow the institutional French policy without flattening conflicting international guidance; use Fall 2026 tuition and current-guide residence rates as planning baselines; leave 2027–2028 tuition and housing terms pending; and treat stages, clinical placements, research internships, and campus study-work as program-specific rather than a universal co-op promise.
