UQAM École de langues

The École de langues at Université du Québec à Montréal offers university language courses and programmes from its Sainte-Catherine Street East base. French and English are part of a wider range of languages taught by the school. Students can study through a language programme, include eligible courses within another UQAM qualification or apply for independent study.

French and bilingual programmes

The French and English certificate connects study of both languages with the Montreal experience. A major in modern languages and cultures provides a more extensive bilingual route. Individual French or English courses are also available for students who meet the university's admission and registration conditions. These options allow learners to consider a single subject, a certificate or a broader academic plan, depending on their purpose and available time.

Placement and university registration

French and English applicants complete placement testing so that their courses correspond to the appropriate level. The results guide course selection and registration during the university's scheduled periods. The school also offers languages including German, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Russian, with placement rules depending on prior knowledge. Students comparing language study in Montreal should consider UQAM's academic calendar, credit requirements and admission process alongside their language goals. Programme entry level and the feasibility of combining courses should be confirmed before planning a term of study.
