Candidates for the Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.), Professional Masters, DESS and 2nd cycle microprograms
Polytechnique Montréal is a French-speaking university establishment. The language of instruction being French, a minimum knowledge of this language is required to be able to undertake your studies.The result of a language test (in French) accepted by Polytechnique Montréal is mandatory for the study of your admission application.
The linguistic requirements for admission to the Professional Masters, DESS and 2nd cycle microprograms are the same as those for admission to our baccalaureate programs.
Candidates for the Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.), Professional Masters, DESS and 2nd cycle microprograms at Polytechnique Montréal who have completed their secondary and/or post-secondary studies in an education system not recognized as French-speaking by Polytechnique must present the result of a French test accepted by Polytechnique Montréal. Certain exemptions apply.
When applicable, language requirements are the first step in evaluating the file. If these requirements are not met, your academic file will be rejected. Your admission file will remain "pending - missing documents" until receipt of the results of a language test in accordance with the admission requirements. A conditional admission upon receipt of a language test results is therefore not possible.
From the summer term of 2024, the provisional results of the French test will no longer be considered. The candidate must transmit the final official results of his French test along with other documents required for admission so that his file can be evaluated.
Starting with the winter 2025 term, the new requirements for tests/diplomas recognized by Polytechnique Montréal will be those mentioned in the table "French - Accepetd tests", below. In the case of admissions during the year 2024, Polytechnique Montréal will retain the following criteria: a B2 overall result (minimum 400), or, in the absence of the overall result, the B2 threshold will be required in both tests: comprehension oral and written comprehension.
