Applying to ÉTS

Home universities have to confirm candidates’ nomination (online nomination: URL available on demand at international@etsmtl.ca), before you submit your application.

Fill out the online application form for one of the following exchange programs:

• 0469 – Programme court de premier cycle en génie pour étudiant en séjour d’études, for a one-term exchange
• 4023 – Certificat de premier cycle en génie pour étudiant en séjour d’études, for 2 terms

You have to choose one of the following ÉTS departments: electrical engineering, software engineering, automated manufacturing engineering, information technology engineering, mechanical engineering or operations and logistics engineering. This determines the courses you can select.

You must upload scanned copies of the following documents when submitting your application online:

• BCI student exchange program application form
• Official transcripts for current ongoing studies
• Birth certificate
• Learning agreement (list of course units), signed by the authorized person in your home university

Exchange students are exempted from application fees and tuition fees. (compulsory insurance coverage fees may apply).

IMPORTANT – If you get selected and if you decide to cancel your admission, you must inform ETS as soon as possible, so we could offer it to other applicants on the waiting list.

Language requirements

Courses are offered in French only. A proof of French proficiency is required, unless it is the applicant’s native language. An official language test is not mandatory: ÉTS accepts attestation letters from an appropriate person of the home institution, stating that the applicant has adequate French competency.

Programs offered to exchange students

The list of programs that are offered to exchange students can be found here: List of programs offered to exchange students.

Course selection

The list of courses you would like to take has to be approved by your home university before applying. Once selected, ÉTS enrolls you in the courses, based on this same list.

Exchange students must enroll to a minimum of 12 ÉTS credits per term (full time registration), and a maximum of 16 credits.

Read carefully our website to know about course selection, particular restrictions for exchange students, and to check if the courses are offered at a particular term.
