Is work experience paramount for the QSWP (Quebec Skilled Worker Program) or does a degree in a relevant field suffice?

I apologise if the question has already been asked previously; I couldn't find it.

I am graduating in a year in Computer Science, with honours, in a UK University. I am proficient in French and I have had a great interest in the Quebecoise culture for years.

The "skilled" in 'QSWP' seems to imply that work experience is needed. However, I am able to obtain the necessary points to qualify for immigration without even having 6 months of work experience (assuming I hold the degree, it was a simulation). I wonder whether a degree in a relevant field can work as a substitute for work experience? Would I immediately get rejected if I don't have at least 6 months of work experience?

If so, what alternatives would you suggest?

I thank you in advance for your responses.
