Nursing at Université de Sherbrooke: the bachelor's on the Sherbrooke and Longueuil campuses
The École des sciences infirmières at Université de Sherbrooke offers the Baccalauréat en sciences infirmières. Official pages are in French; this summary is for students comparing Québec universities.
What the school offers (nursing)
- Two pathways. The initial pathway is for students coming from a DEC in natural sciences or equivalent, and the school describes a cooperative (work-term) model. The integrated DEC-BAC pathway is for people who hold a DEC in nursing (180.A0 or 180.B0) and are registered with the OIIQ, and is described as two years full-time.
- Two campuses. The program is listed at the Campus de la santé in Sherbrooke and at the Campus de Longueuil.
- Accreditation. The school page states that both pathways have been accredited by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (ACESI) since 2018.
- Distinctive element. The school mentions a large-scale simulation exercise called "code orange" and extensive clinical placements built into the coursework.
Becoming licensed after graduating
Graduates are regulated by the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ). A university program alone does not grant the right to practise in Québec; the OIIQ sets the current admission-to-practice requirements, so confirm them with the Order.
How to apply
The program page says applications go through the university's admission portal. The school page lists March 1 as the annual application deadline; the admission page shows dates for each session, so check them for your intake. Prerequisites differ between the initial and DEC-BAC pathways.
How Fiabita's Study Lab can help students here
If you are in the DEC-BAC pathway, you may be moving from technical to university-level work in two years. Study Lab can help you turn your own notes into French or English quizzes and flashcards, and practise documentation and handoff language before placements. Fiabita is independent of Université de Sherbrooke and has none of its materials. AI output can contain errors, so verify it with your course content.
