International students who wish to register in one of the university's post-graduate programs must have either a bachelor's degree, professional qualifications based on the completion of an advanced study program of at least five years or a diploma recognized as the equivalent of a bachelor's degree from the University.
The University may at any time impose additional courses upon students whose previous training does not meet its standards for equivalency. An official French translation, validated by the Canadian embassy of the student's native country, must accompany each document that is not written in either French or English.
Documents indicating all the prerequisites of admission to the various programs are available for students at the registrar's office. They may be requested in writing or by E-mail.`
Assistance is available to students from the personnel in charge of various services: reception, information, personal counselling and financial aid.
The main concern of persons responsible for these services is to help students solve any problems that may occur and so facilitate their integration into university life.

The university offers 39 post-graduate programs including 32 masters' degrees and 12 doctorates, all supported by major research units.
In the field of management science, there are two masters' degrees in project management and small business administration and a doctorate in applied administration. These programs are backed by the Research Group on Small Businesses and by Bombardier Sea-Doo/Ski-Doo.
A number of research units, such as the Research Group in Industrial Electronics, the Hydro-Quebec Investigating Team on Effective Electrothermal Processes and the Pulp and Paper Research Centre complement and support teaching activities.
In the field of engineering, masters' degrees are available in industrial engineering, industrial health and safety, electrical engineering and the science of pulp and paper.
Six masters' degrees are offered in the sciences: biophysics, chemistry, physics, experimental health science, applied mathematics and computing science, and environmental studies. The purpose of these programs is to train research students who can then go on to do a doctorate in biophysics or energy and materials science at the same university.
With regard to literature and the social sciences, masters' degrees are offered in education, French literature, Quebec studies, philosophy, psychology, theology, psychoeducation, physical fitness and tourism and recreation. Doctorates are also available in education, Quebec studies, philosophy and psychology. These programs are supported by several research units such as those on literary diaries, child and family development, gerontology, experimental and comparative neuropsychology, analytical psychology and by an interuniversity Centre for Quebec Studies.
Apartment-style housing is available on campus. The residences are located in pleasant, country-like surroundings and can accommodate more than 800 students. Rent is approximately $280 CDN per month per student.

UQTR is strongly committed to excellence in research. Research teams are grouped into some twenty units working in pulp and paper, membrane biotechnology, photobiophysics, industrial electronics, dielectrics and small business administration.
The HydrogenInstitute, the only one of its kind in the province of Quebec, has as its goal the development of scientific and technological knowledge concerning the storage, transportation and safe utilization of hydrogen.
In 1995, the University opened a new sports complex comprising an Olympic swimming pool as well as exercise and muscle-building equipment.
In addition, there are paths for walking and a 10-kilometer cycling track going through the campus woods.
In the province of Quebec, the academic year is divided into three terms - autumn, winter and summer - each of which lasts 15 weeks.
To obtain a degree, a student must pass each course of his or her chosen program. There is a "one-course-at-a-time progression" policy. That is, should a student fail a particular course, he or she is obliged to repeat this course only and not the entire term.
University programs consist of study at the undergraduate, master's and doctoral levels (premier, deuxième et troisième cycles). The undergraduate level leads to the obtaining of various certificates and bachelors' degrees or to a first-cycle doctorate at the end of a program of at least five years of university training.
The master's program includes 45 credits and lasts at least three terms. The master's degree with a thesis (type B) involves the writing of a thesis and helps students develop and refine their research skills. The master's degree without a thesis, or the professional master's (type A), aims to develop practical skills. It includes various learning activities and requires the student to submit a report concerning his or her research studies and tutorial work. International students who wish to register in a master's program must have their undergraduate degree recognized as the equivalent of a UQTR bachelor's degree.
The doctorate consists of 90 credits and lasts at least six terms. Its purpose is to train researchers by providing them with an in-depth understanding of a particular subject or of a broader field of research. The doctorate includes 70 to 90 research credits. In addition, a student must present a thesis that adds new knowledge to his or her chosen field and paves the way for new applications.
