Université de Montréal: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Université de Montréal is a French-language public research university in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It suits students who want a large range of graduate and professional study in French and are comfortable checking programme details carefully before applying.

  2. What you can study

    The university offers programmes in administration des services de santé, administration sociale, and administration des systèmes informatiques. The listed options include microprogrammes, a DESS, and maîtrise-level study, and the university also states that it offers more than 650 undergraduate and graduate programmes in total, including 71 doctoral programmes.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the official university website and check the programme page for the exact entry requirements, required documents, deadlines, and whether the study option is open to international students. Because many programmes are offered in French, confirm the language requirements and any supporting tests before submitting an application.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range in the information available here; confirm the current cost with its admissions office. Tuition is charged in CAD, and you should also budget for living costs in Montreal, which will depend on housing, transport, food, and personal spending.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The main practical issue is language: this is a French-language university, so you need to confirm the level of French required for your programme. Before applying, check visa or study permit steps, document translation needs, whether your chosen programme is available to international students, and any housing arrangements you will need to make in Montreal.

  6. How it compares

    Among 156 universities in Canada, Université de Montréal stands out as a public French-language research university with a very broad programme range and a strong graduate and professional offering. If you want to study in French in a major Canadian city, it is a more focused fit than English-language universities that do not centre French instruction.
