What to do after your Diploma of Collegial Studies? Let's take a look!
The pre-university DCS gives you a more general education than you had in high school, by narrowing the focus of your specialization.
During the previous years, you were able to gain insight into your strengths, the subjects that interest you and the areas that you are passionate about.
You were able to get to know yourself better and develop personal qualities.
During your pre-university DCS, you will have enough knowledge to define your preferences, explore the specificities of the field that corresponds to you the most and approach disciplines that you did not discover in high school.
The pre-university DCS is a springboard for the student to deepen a particular field of study before embarking on an even more specific university path.
