The Université de Montréal (University of Montreal) is a French-language public research university in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The institution comprises thirteen faculties, more than sixty departments and two[1] affiliated schools: the Polytechnique Montréal (School of Engineering; formerly the École polytechnique de Montréal) and HEC Montréal (School of Business). It offers more than 650 undergraduate programmes and graduate programmes, including 71 doctoral programmes.
The university was founded as a satellite campus of the Université Laval in 1878. It became an independent institution after it was issued a papal charter in 1919 and a provincial charter in 1920. Université de Montréal moved from Montreal's Quartier Latin to its present location at Mount Royal in 1942. It was made a secular institution with the passing of another provincial charter in 1967.
The school has 34,335 undergraduate and 11,925 post-graduate students (excluding affiliated schools). The university has an extensive alumni network, with more than 300,000 members.[2] Throughout the university's history, faculty, alumni, and former students have played prominent roles in a number of fields.
