   Getting in

   International applicants should review the admission requirements for their chosen programme, prepare the required school records and any supporting documents, and check deadlines on the official website. Because programme-specific requirements can differ, confirm the exact entry conditions, document format, and whether your previous studies meet the college’s requirements with the admissions office.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a fee range for international students; confirm the current tuition with its admissions office. Living costs in Montreal will depend on housing, transport, food, and your personal spending, so plan a separate budget for those expenses.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is English. Before applying, check whether your programme has any additional language requirement, what documents are needed for international admission, whether your prior qualifications are accepted, and what support you will need for study in Quebec and life in Montreal.
