   How it compares

   Among 156 universities in Canada, UQO is a smaller public option with a focused undergraduate offer rather than a broad graduate-heavy profile. Its value for an international applicant is in the combination of public status, a Quebec location, and a programme list that already includes several professionally oriented bachelor’s degrees.
