About the university
Cégep Marie-Victorin is a public CEGEP in north-east Montreal. It offers pre-university and technical DECs (including design, fashion, graphic design, music and early childhood education) and shorter AEC programmes in continuing education. Most teaching is in French; its Intercultural and International Education Centre at Pavillon Namur also runs a few ACS programmes in English.
For international students, the AEC/ACS programme pages state an approximate fee of CAD 7,300 to 8,955 per session, including health insurance. Some of these programmes are eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit and some are not, so check each page. The DEC pages publish fees only for students from France, so we list only AEC/ACS programmes here.
