[edit] English title?

Why is the title not in English?

Because the university is most commonly known to English speakers by its French name. I've never seen it called the "University of Quebec at Montreal." Also, the French title is its official name in both official languages. - Montréalais

[edit] Logo

  • can someone transfer this? Image:Université du Québec à Montréal.jpg from the French Wiipedia?

[edit] The new science buildings

Isen't the 100 million CAN $ worth construction, for the "Coeur des sciences de l'UQAM" important enough to be mentioned? Fadix 00:22, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Abbreviation

UQÀM or UQAM? Flapdragon 23:30, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

The proper name is UQAM, no ponctuation on the capital A. Only logo uses the ponctuation, it refers to the lettre "Q". It's for the symmetry of the logo. It also refers to the graduation hat. It has been designed by a UQAM design professor, Frederic Metz.

[edit] a little complain

"The Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) is one of four universities in Montreal, Quebec, Canada." sometimes when i read stuff like tat, i wish there is a easy/quick way to know wat are those four universities. that's something those blue words can't provide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.135.218 (talk) 14:21, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

You might try typing "Montreal" in the search box. That article has a whole section about it. Orthografer (talk) 05:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
