McGill University

About McGill

Located in the vibrant, multicultural city of Montreal, McGill University is a community of people inspired by challenge and committed to shaping a better future. McGill’s faculty and students have been pushing the boundaries of knowledge for more than 200 years, making it one of the world’s leading universities.

Diverse and enriching campuses

McGill is known for attracting the brightest students from around the world. We welcome international students from over 150 countries, representing about 30% of our student body – the highest proportion of any Canadian research university. Meeting students from around the world will give you the opportunity to experience diverse perspectives and new ways of thinking.

Supporting bright minds

Our students have won more national and international awards on average than their peers at any Canadian university — including 147 Rhodes scholarships. This success stems from a simple philosophy: we believe that ideas are made to be challenged. At McGill, we inspire each other to dream big, to try our best, and to achieve more than we thought possible.

We support our students in every way: McGill offers competitive tuition, as well as scholarships, funding, and employment opportunities.
