The Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières is located halfway between Montréal and Québec (an hour and a half's drive in either direction from Trois-Rivières).

One of the university's most attractive features its a relaxed, informal atmosphere in which students and professors work together closely in teaching and research activities.

The university offers its 11,000 students a quiet, pleasant environment including a large campus with plenty of green open spaces. It also assures them a first-rate education through the dedication and specialized skills of the professors and the availability of advanced techniques. At UQTR, learning and research involve the same hard work as anywhere else - but under far more pleasant conditions.

For the students who don't speak French, it is recommended that they register for the French Immersion School of the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. A short class with the FIS will help them to integrate into their other classes.
