Institution overview
McGill University is a public university in Quebec, Canada, founded in 1821. Its central academic setting is in Montreal, with further teaching and research activity at other locations including the Macdonald campus in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue. English is the principal language of instruction within a wider French-speaking urban and provincial environment. The university offers undergraduate education, professional programmes, master's study and doctoral research. Academic fields include arts, social sciences, science, engineering, management, medicine, law, education, music, and agricultural and environmental sciences. Faculties and schools have their own programme structures, and professional courses may include additional language or placement requirements. McGill's history includes scientific investigation and technological development across several disciplines. Its current research and teaching continue that broad academic scope, rather than being limited to one specialist field. The Downtown and Macdonald settings provide different combinations of facilities and subject communities. University admissions pages distinguish undergraduate, graduate and other study routes, helping prospective students identify the correct faculty and programme information. Libraries, campus activities and research environments contribute to the wider student experience.
