Québec, a unique crossroads
Québec is a distinctive part of North America.
At the crossroads of two worlds, it is often
described as a bit of Europe transplanted to
North America, a link between the old world
and the new.
The official language of Québec is French, but
English is the language used by about 10%
of the population, mainly in Montreal and in
areas bordering Ontario and the United States.
Conference of Rectors
and Principals of Québec
Universities (CREPUQ)
CREPUQ, a private organisation, represents
Quebec’s universities and acts on their behalf
in relations with government and higher edu­
cation authorities. It also fosters cooperation
between universities, serves as a research
centre for university administrations, acts as a
centre for coordination and joint service deli­
very and is a resource centre and think tank for
its members.
In international relations, CREPUQ is active in
various ways. The CREPUQ Agreement enables
students registered at foreign universities to
study in Québec for a maximum of one year
while paying tuition fees to and remaining
registered at their home university. Québec
students can do the same. Since 1979, CRE­
PUQ has signed student exchange program
agreements with nearly 500 universities or
university consortiums in 22 countries.
CREPUQ is also involved in recruiting interna­
tional students. The International Recruitment
Subcommittee has coordinated the Québec
universities’ efforts in this regard since 2001.
This common approach to recruiting em­
phasizes the quality of education, promotes
Québec universities and enables diversification
of the international clienteles recruited and the
means used.
Created in December 2005, the International
Relations Committee provides the vice-rectors
in charge of international relations at Québec
universities with a forum for exchanging infor­
mation and sharing sound internationalization
practices. It plays a strategic role, in conjunc­
tion with the universities, in all issues relating
to university internationalization in education,
research and knowledge dissemination. The In­
ternational Relations Committee works closely
with the Academic Affairs Committee and the
Research Committee.

bers of the Association of American Universities.
188 Years of History
The oldest university in Montreal, McGill was
founded in 1821 with a generous bequest by
James McGill, a prominent merchant. Since that
time, McGill has grown from a small college to
a bustling university with two campuses,
11 faculties, 300 programs of study, and more
than 35,000 students. The University partners
with four teaching hospitals to graduate
over 1,000 health care professionals each year.
McGill plays an active role in the many facets
of Montreal life, and its excellence in all aspects
of its mission greatly enhances the city’s interna­
tional reputation.
Worldwide Reputation in Research
McGill University is recognized around the world
for its research programs and achievements.
The work of McGill researchers is highly ac­
claimed, earning prestigious awards including
the Kyoto Prize, the International Balzan
Prize, the Templeton Prize, the Gairdner Foun­
dation International Award, and Sloan Research
Fellowships. Some 130 of McGill’s professors
are Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada.
Today our professors are performing pionee­
ring work in epigenetics, developing alternative
energy sources from crop plants and using
nanotechnology to repair damaged neurons.
According to the Times Higher Education Sup­
plement, McGill is the best university in Canada
and one of the top 20 in the world. Students
also participate in research projects, even as
undergraduates. This fundamental feature of
our academic programs provides our students
invaluable experience.
Training Tomorrow’s Leaders
In addition to stellar faculty members, McGill
is known for attracting the brightest stu­
dents from across Canada, the United States,
and abroad. McGill undergraduates have the
highest average entering grades in Canada,
and our commitment to fostering the best has
helped our students win more national and
international awards on average than their
peers at any other Canadian university. McGill
has produced the most Rhodes Scholars of any
university in Canada. Our 200,000 graduates
form a vast global network; our alumni reach
the top of their professions as Supreme Court
justices, authors and musicians, astronauts
and Nobel Prize winners.
The Office of the Deputy Provost (Student
Life and Learning) is responsible for interna­
tional education and exchanges at McGill.
McGill seeks to enhance the international
experience of all students by providing opportu­
nities to participate in study abroad, including
international exchan­ges, field study programs
and formal internships, all of which bring our
students into first-hand contact with people,
problems and issues from other cultures and
backgrounds. International experiences help
equip our students to become effective con­
tributors and informed citizens of our rapidly
changing world.
McGill students not only succeed in demanding
academic programs but also take active part in
a wide range of extracurricular activities. McGill
has a long sports tradition that has produced
many Olympic athletes, and McGill students
are members of hundreds of clubs, associa­
tions and community groups on campus and in
Montreal. These activities contribute to making
university life at McGill particularly dynamic.

The École nationale d’administration publique
was created in 1969 to give Québec an institu­
tion of higher learning dedicated uniquely to
the field of public administration and, therefore,
to contribute to its development in the areas of
knowledge and practice. ENAP is one of the
nine member universities of the Université du
Québec network.
Action-Oriented and Connected with the World
ENAP’s training and professional develop­
ment programs are adapted to the reality of
public administration professionals, analysts,
researchers and managers.
Well-established in the Community
ENAP has five main centres (Quebec City,
Montreal, Gatineau, Saguenay and TroisRivières), as well as several service loca­
tions across Quebec in partnership with
other institutions, namely, in Sherbrooke, Alma,
Saint-Georges-de-Beauce, Longueuil, SaintJérôme and Rouyn-Noranda.
Research
ENAP’s researchers are at the centre of sev­
eral networks throughout Quebec, Canada
and overseas. They specialize in applied re­
search aimed at public administration issues
and stakes. Their work deals mainly with the
School’s core interests: public management,
governance and public policies. They thus
contribute to the development of teaching and
public organizations.
An Expanding Sector
The development of research at ENAP depends
on the making of poles of excellence to bring
together professors and their expertise. As a
result, several poles of excellence and research
chairs were created.

International Action
At the end of the 1970s, ENAP became involved
in international cooperation and has continu­
ally increased its contribution to reflections on,
and the evolution of, public administration.
The School’s experience is based on:
• the successful completion of a multitude of
major projects in the field of international co­
operation, particularly over the past 25 years;
• interventions in some thirty countries in Af­
rica, Asia, Europe and the Americas;
• the training of more than 1000 trainers or
managers who took one of our international
programs.
Over the years, ENAP has become an ideal
partner:
• for training public managers from develop­
ing countries, at the municipal, provincial,
state or national level;
• for advising and guiding schools of man­
agement and training institutions in the
development of custom-designed programs
in public management;
• for advising the governments of developing
countries regarding governance and publicsector reform.
Since June 1, 2008, ENAP’s new Direction
des affaires internationales (DAI) has brought
together all of the School’s international ac­
tivities. The DAI thus ensures a functional and
coherent linkage with the Centre de valorisation
internationale de l’expertise publique qué­
bécoise in the completion of their respective
missions and responsibilities.
Engineering for Industry
With a mission focused on applied engineering
and close ties with organizations, the École de
technologie supérieure (ÉTS) clearly stands out
among Québec’s universities. The school trains
engineers and researchers known for their
practical, innovative approach.
ÉTS trains nearly 25% of the engineering un­
dergraduates in Québec, which makes it the
top university for undergraduate training in
this field. In Canada, it ranks third in terms of
number of engineering diplomas awarded. It
also offers master’s and doctoral programs in
many fields of engineering, as well as certifi­
cate programs, short programs and specialized
diplomas for people who wish to learn a spe­
cialized field or obtain refresher training.
ÉTS meets the needs of large and small orga­
nizations, so it is not surprising that most of its
teachers have industrial experience. Moreover,
thanks to the support of industry and funding
organizations, teachers are involved with vari­
ous research groups, chairs and laboratories at
the school.
compare their abilities with those of their com­
rades at the best engineering schools in North
America, ÉTS students participate in numerous
engineering competitions every year: Formula
SAE, solar vehicle, concrete canoe, amphibious
all-terrain vehicle, human-powered subma­
rine, etc. Over the years, their performance has
earned them many prestigious awards which
contribute to the school’s reputation in Canada
and abroad.
International Activities
ÉTS has many international achievements to its
credit and is active on four continents. To meet
industry’s on-site needs, train open minded
engineers and consolidate its base abroad, the
school develops its network with the support of
the International Relations Office (IRO), which
coordinates student recruitment at all levels,
as well as locally, nationally and internation­
ally. The IRO assists international students who
wish to attend ÉTS. It facilitates administrative
processing and helps students when they ar­
rive in Montréal.
Co-operative Education
ÉTS adopted the co-operative education format
to support its industrial engineering mission.
Alternating terms of coursework and on-thejob training in companies, this method is not
only one of the main features of ÉTS, but one of
its assets. In addition to their courses, all under­
graduates are required to complete three work
terms in industry, for a total of at least twelve
months, to obtain their degree.
Student Clubs
ÉTS offers students many opportunities to ap­
ply concepts in class practice and to use their
ingenuity and leadership. Over 400 of them
are very active in more than 20 science clubs
that the school encourages them to join. To
