Requirements
Language requirements – French
All of Collège Boréal’s post-secondary programs are offered in French and require a very good level of French. If you have completed all of your high school studies (bachelor’s degree) or if you have completed post-secondary studies (bachelor’s degree, master’s degree or doctorate) in a recognized French-language institution, you will not be required to submit the results of a French test for admission purposes.
If your previous education was in a non-French system, you must demonstrate that you have the language skills required for admission. Click here for the French tests officially recognized by Collège Boréal and the results required for admission.
Language requirements – English
Many of Collège Boréal’s programs require that students be able to express themselves adequately in English, both orally and in writing, since some textbooks are only available in English. In addition, internships may take place in a bilingual environment and the student will need to be able to express him/herself comfortably in English. English as a Second Language courses normally offered in the French education system will not be considered for admission.
