Prerequisites
Basis of admission
- University bachelor's degree (CEGEP students go through Dent-P)
Three categories: Quebec residents, Canadians from outside Quebec, international applicants. Quebec residents: bachelor's degree obtained by July 31 of the entry year at the latest; a graduate of a pre-university DEC can apply with a 90-credit Quebec university program. Quebec resident status must be fully established by the application deadline. NO direct access from CEGEP: the CEGEP pathway is Dent-P. DMD-specific deadlines not found on the pages consulted.
