The Université de Montréal is a French-language educational institution - the majority of our programs are exclusively taught in French. However, we do have a program that offers a wide variety of courses taught in English, known as the English Studies Program. Here are the links to the course websites:

English Studies Program - Undergraduate
English Studies Program - Graduate

Allophone students can also participate in an exchange at the Université de Montréal and take an intensive French language course at the École de Français. However, we must inform you that beginner-level courses are often canceled due to insufficient participants. Therefore, it is crucial for students considering this option to already have a foundation in French and the flexibility to choose courses from other programs, such as English language courses or courses from the English Studies Program, in case there are not enough French courses available to be considered full-time.

Additionally, there are additional fees for French courses, which will be added to the student's invoice after registration. These fees are not tuition fees; they are specific additional fees for the École de Français that are required from all participants, whether they are part of the exchange program or not:

3-credit course: $75 CAD will be charged for school materials.
6-credit course: $530 CAD will be charged for language workshops.
