A two-year pre-university program combining film, photography, media and fine arts practice with cultural and media theory. Suited to students who want hands-on studio experience, build a portfolio, and prepare for university studies or creative media careers.
Students learn art, media and cultural theory alongside practical studio courses. Course offerings include photography, sculpture, painting, printmaking, video production and theatre, allowing learners to sample multiple disciplines or concentrate in a chosen medium. Graduates leave with developed creative technique and a substantial portfolio.
Applicants must hold a Quebec Secondary School Diploma or the Quebec Diploma of Vocational Education, or demonstrate equivalent schooling completed outside Quebec.
The program prepares students for university and for a range of creative and media-related pathways.

Students are advised to consult an academic advisor about prerequisites for specific university programs.
