Language accommodations

Although Université de Montréal is a French-language university, many of our research departments are open to creating a bilingual environment for students in graduate-level programs. Students who are proficient in English are therefore welcome and accepted into graduate-level programs.

The Department of Physics provides a number of accommodations to make you feel comfortable and help you fulfill the requirements of the program even if French is not your main language of study:

  • Choice of giving oral presentations in either French or English.
  • Choice of writing exams in French or English.
  • Possibility of taking an equivalent course at an English-language university in Montréal.
  • Choice of taking the comprehensive exam in either French or English.
  • Possibility of writing your doctoral thesis or dissertation in English.
