[edit] Basic Facts

The UQAM is the largest constituent element of the Université du Québec, a public university system with other branches in Gatineau (Outaouais), Rimouski, Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec City, Saguenay, and Trois-Rivières. UQAM was founded on April 9, 1969 by the government of Quebec, through the merger of the École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, a fine arts school; the Collège Sainte-Marie, a classical college; and a number of smaller schools.

In 2004, UQAM had a student population of 42,257 in six faculties (Arts; Education; Literature, Language and Communications; Political Science and Law; Science; and Social science) and one school (Management). It offers bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees. It is one of Montreal's two French-language universities, along with the Université de Montréal, and only 1% of its student population is Anglophone. With the addition of the Télé-université in June 2005, UQAM, with a current student population of about 60 000, is the largest French-speaking university in the world. [1]

UQAM's campus is located in downtown Montreal, with most of its buildings in the Quartier Latin neighbourhood around Berri-UQAM metro station, to which it is connected via the underground city. The university also leases buildings or classrooms in several towns outside Montreal, offering programs or parts of programs to local students.
