Founded in 1821, McGill University enjoys an international reputation for scholarly achievement and scientific discovery. Cutting-edge facilities, innovative teaching programs, and multidisciplinary research attract first-class students and professors from around the world. Top researchers regularly teach undergraduate classes and engage students in inquiry-based learning.

McGill’s downtown campus, located on the slope of Mont-Royal, mixes heritage buildings with modern facilities. The Macdonald Campus sits amidst fields and forests, including the 245-hectare Morgan Arboretum, on the western tip of the Island of Montreal. McGill’s resources for learning, research and outreach also include the Redpath Museum, branch libraries and special collections, research stations in the sub-Arctic and Arctic, and the Gault Nature Reserve, the first Canadian site recognized by the UNESCO Biosphere program.

McGill offers more than 300 programs of study through its 11 faculties: Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Arts, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Law, Management, Medicine, Music, and Science. It also houses, or partners with, a vast array of research centers and networks and participates in extensive international research collaborations.

Montreal offers students a safe, affordable, vibrant, multicultural environment in which to live and learn. Students can enrich their educational experience through hands-on research, internships, exchange, and study-abroad programs, intramural and intercollegiate sports, field study and engagement in community service and campus life. The university recognizes academic distinction and leadership through generous undergraduate scholarships and student aid.
