Tech Skills
Students must take ONE Tech Skills course, EITHER in Semester 1 OR in Semester 2.
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) to the Academic Team 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 lis of "Optional courses" in order to make up for these missing credits.
