Brief Description of Laval University

Choosing it means building your future in an exceptional living environment, where everything is done to facilitate success: a choice of program among some 500 offered at the three study cycles; funded stays and internships abroad; funding offered to one in four students in the form of a scholarship, salary or other; a recognized quality of management; a very lively cultural, sporting and social life.

Teaching is provided by teachers who stand out for their accessibility, openness and commitment to students.

With some $ 357 million in research and creation funds and more than 275 centers, chairs, institutes and other research groups, professors benefit from major infrastructures and multiply scientific breakthroughs and social innovations.

Thanks to them, University of Laval is ranked eighth among the leading research universities in Canada. Nearly 90% of undergraduate programs include compulsory or optional internships, not counting the study profiles offered: international, entrepreneurial, sustainable development, distinction and research.

The University is also renowned for its internship and study abroad programs, in addition to offering language courses to prepare for it.

The Canada Scholarship program aims to increase opportunities for Canadian post-secondary institutions to welcome international students from a large number of countries, territories and regions.

Successful applicants from eligible countries / territories will have the opportunity to pursue fully funded post-secondary education for up to two full years of study in Canada leading to a degree, a certificate of post-secondary education or higher, or a master’s degree from a college, technical or professional institute, or university in Canada.

Canadian host institutions will have the opportunity to strengthen and diversify their international personal and academic relationships and to demonstrate the excellence of post-secondary institutions in the country.

The new relationships developed under the program will serve to fuel and enrich Canada’s educational commitments with a wide range of partners, strengthen bilateral relations and support the Government of Canada’s international trade diversification initiatives. .
