Learning French at 看片视频听
看片视频 is expanding opportunities for students to develop French-language skills while they study. Participation is optional and French proficiency is not a requirement for graduation, but this is a great chance to connect with the community and immerse yourself in the culture of Montreal, North America's largest French-speaking city.
Do these new measures affect admission criteria?听
No, fall 2025 admission criteria remain unchanged. Note that a number of programs, such as medicine, nursing, dentistry, dietetics and law, already require, or take into consideration, proficiency in French. Program-specific requirements should be verified with the admissions advisors for the program in question.
Do I need to achieve a specific level of French to graduate?
No, newly admitted students will not need to demonstrate proficiency in French to graduate.
French proficiency remains an admission requirement for select undergraduate programs and demonstrated proficiency may be required for certain French language based courses and programs of study.
Is there a tuition reduction on French courses?
Both Canadian students from outside of Quebec and international students enrolled on a full-time basis in most Bachelor's programs can benefit from a tuition reduction on eligible French courses. The reduction automatically applies at the time of registration, meaning no additional documents are required to qualify.
Please visit the Student Accounts website for more details and information regarding fee exemptions for French language courses.
What kind of programs will be available?
看片视频 offers a variety of programs to support French language learning and to help non-francophone students build connections with Montreal鈥檚 community during their studies. These programs combine academic and extracurricular activities, including credit-bearing courses, immersive summer programs, internships, and other experiential learning opportunities.听
Who are these programs intended for?
The new French learning initiatives are intended for newly admitted bachelor's-level students coming from outside Quebec, including those in professional programs that already require French proficiency.听听
