After Your Cégep Studies

What to Do After Your Cégep Studies? Continue Studying or Return to Your Home Country?

Continue Studying

Once you have your diploma, you may decide to continue your studies. In your final year at cégep, you can apply for admission to a Québec, Canadian, or foreign university. Most cégeps have orientation services that will provide advice for your university admission.

Be sure to inquire well in advance about the prerequisites and requirements of university programs. Indeed, you may lack prerequisites if you wish to change fields. Your academic results will also be decisive for your university admission, especially for limited-capacity programs.

Return to Your Home Country

If you wish to return to your country after your studies in Québec, your diploma will not automatically be recognized in your home country.

If you are a European citizen, you will need to initiate a diploma recognition process with the official ENIC-NARIC body (ENIC: European Network of Information Centres in the European Region / NARIC: National Academic Recognition Information Centres in the European Union).
