UQAM to offer a new French–LSQ graduate diploma (DESS) fully online starting Fall 2027
UQAM will launch a DESS (30 credits, 11 courses) in French–Québec Sign Language (LSQ) interpretation in Fall 2027. The fully online program can be taken part‑time over three years and welcomes practicing interpreters and graduates. Application deadline: before March 1.
The Université du Québec à Montréal will be the first Canadian university to offer a graduate diploma focused on sign language interpretation: an 11‑course, 30‑credit DESS culminating in an applied integration project. Delivered entirely online, it supports part‑time study (three years, one to two courses per term) and targets multidisciplinary skill development across contexts such as justice, mental health, media and postsecondary teaching. Candidates lacking a bachelor’s may apply through prior‑learning recognition and a preparatory route. Application deadline given: March 1 (for the upcoming intake).
