Quantitative Skills

Please select 1 course - 24 hours

Students must take ONE Skills course in English or French, EITHER in Semester 1 OR in Semester 2.

(Dual degree students are strongly advised to take their Skills course during semester 1)

Please note that students may obtain a waiver for the Skills course upon presentation of the appropriate justifications (transcripts, syllabi and letter of explanation either in French or in English only) before course registration. This decision will depend on the nature and number of relevant courses already taken, as well as the grades and credits awarded. Students who secure a waiver for the Skills course will attempt 4 fewer credits and therefore must take and validate an additional course (4 to 6 ECTS) within the list of "Optional courses" in order to make up for these missing credits.

Skills waiver request form and deadlines:

Please complete the skills waiver request form via the link below by June 15th, 2026 (Fall semester registration) OR by November 23rd, 2026 (Spring semester registration).
