Rédaction professionnelle et édition

The minor and the certificate in rédaction professionnelle et édition offered by the Département de français prepare students for many positions requiring mastery of writing techniques for information and communication in French. This specialized training combines theoretical knowledge and practical experience with the tools (particularly computerized tools) and the methods used in many occupational settings including institutions, businesses, the public service, public relations and the media.

You can add the minor only if the program to which you are registered allows you to do so. This minor will enhance your education with specialized training that will allow you to assume writing and publishing responsibilities in your main field; examples include scientific, technical, administrative, business, and legal writing and publishing.

The certificate is for you -regardless of whether you have an undergraduate degree- if you already hold a writing related position as an information officer, journalist, executive secretary, communication officer or translator, for example, and want to refine your expertise. The certificate is also for you if you want to change careers and work in such positions, or if you have completed an undergraduate degree and want complementary training that will lead to new occupational opportunities.
