About the university
Cégep Gérald-Godin is a public CEGEP in Montreal's West Island. It offers two-year pre-university DECs, three-year double DECs, and seven three-year technical DECs with workplace internships, including nursing, pharmacy techniques, biopharmaceutical technology, electrical engineering technology, business administration and computer science. All teaching is in French.
The college admits international students through SRAM, with a CAQ and study permit. Its pages do not publish international tuition, so we do not list course fees here; ask the college or SRAM for the fee for your programme. Because the college is in the Montreal metropolitan area, its international students are not eligible for the Quebec government's international bursaries.
