About the university
Cégep de Trois-Rivières is a public CEGEP in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. For international students it lists ten three-year technical DECs, mostly in engineering technology (civil, industrial, building mechanics, industrial maintenance, electronics and metallurgy), plus computer science, supply chain operations, dietetics and documentation. All teaching is in French.
Applications go through SRAM, not the college. International tuition ranges from CAD 7,575 to CAD 11,740 per session depending on the programme. The college's per-programme fee sheet is from Winter 2024, so the course fees below are older figures and the current fee will be higher.
