Official answer

Admission:

• 0905 – Graduate Short Program for Short Term Students 1 semester
• 0906 – Graduate Short Program for Short Term Students 2 semesters

Refusal:

For rejected candidates, the mobility team will write an e-mail to the sending university and will forward the application file to the next university on the priority list, if it applies.

Teaching language and language proficiency

UQTR courses are taught in French for all undergrad programs. Students must, therefore, be able to speak, read, and write in French. The minimum acceptable level is intermediate/advanced or the equivalent of Level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Course selection and credits

Students must make a course selection based on the course offerings available at the time of application. This choice of courses is subject to change upon arrival or registration of the student.

Students will have to take a number of credits per semester to be enrolled full time.

• Bachelor’s degree: 12 credits (e.g. 4 x 3-credit courses)
• Master’s degree, DESS and PhD: 9 credits (for example: 3 courses of 3 credits)

Warning: It is possible to take 15 credits at the bachelor’s level and 12 at the master’s level, but this is not recommended due to demanding course load. Generally, one 3-hour course (3 credits) is equivalent to a personal workload of 6 hours each week for 15 weeks. UQTR recognizes that 2 European credits are equivalent to 1 credit in Québec.

Academic calendar

• Fall semester (1^st): starts in September and ends in December
• Winter semester (2^nd): starts in January and ends in April

For specific dates, consult UQTR’s university calendar.

Québec university system

Insurance

Internship and research work
Under the BCI-PQÉÉ, off-campus work or internship activities and courses containing the word «internship» are not accessible to mobility students.

Non French-speaking students: Possibility of taking 1 French course during the semester. Fees may apply. Write to us for more details at echange.bri@uqtr.ca.

Grading system and transcript

Visit our website to learn more about UQTR’s grading system.

Reception of the transcript of records: Students must fill out a request on the UQTR student portal once they have completed their stay. The transcript will then be posted on the student portal and they can send it to their sending university’s academic supervisor. To fully understand the UQTR’s transcript, we invite you to consult the Official Transcript Guide.

Official documents to be signed

If students have official documents (such as the learning agreement, study contract, attestation of participation in the mobility program, etc.) from their sending university that require a seal or signature from the UQTR, they can request them approximately 3 weeks after the start of the academic year.
