The integrated bachelor’s-DESS stream allows the student to complete a bachelor in engineering and a DESS degree by taking 15 credits less than by the regular course of study. For more information, consult Fast-track programs.
Admission requirements
- be registered in a bachelor’s degree at Polytechnique Montréal. Students from other universities must complete at least 45 undergraduate credits at Polytechnique Montréal before they can enter the integrated bachelor’s–DESS stream;
- have a GPA of at least 2.75/4.0;
- have completed, or will complete in the current semester, a minimum of 105 credits.
Students with a satisfactory GPA after 90 credits must find a professor who will agree to supervise their work for the remaining 45 credits in the integrated bachelor's–DESS stream. Before approving the student’s study plan, the professor (academic supervisor) in collaboration with the person in charge of the undergraduate program in question, must ensure the coherence of all 150 credits of the student’s study plan. In all cases, students must complete the Registrar’s Office form Plan d'études BDI which must be signed by the appropriate academic and graduate studies coordinator.
