About the university
Cégep de Sept-Îles is a public CEGEP in Sept-Îles, on Quebec's North Shore. Its international page lists technical DECs in nursing, industrial maintenance, computer science, electrical engineering technology, early childhood education, physiotherapy technology, mineral technology (geology, mining and mineral processing) and business administration (accounting, digital HR and entrepreneurship). All teaching is in French, and the college offers paid placements and a personal welcome programme for international students.
The college says international tuition depends on the programme but does not publish the amounts, so no courses with fees are listed here. Students from countries without a tuition agreement must pay 75% of tuition before the official admission letter is issued. Ask the international adviser for your programme's fee.
