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.

Objectives

The goal of the program is to train students so that they can independently carry out a cutting-edge research project in their field. Students are taught how to master a new subject, keep their knowledge up to date, and develop their own research projects. Students who complete their doctorate should be able to conduct research as part of a team and eventually carry out their own research projects.

Strengths

  • The Bibliothèque de physique (physics library) and computer labs reserved for physics students for their assignments: experiment write-ups, digital physics labs, symbolic computation tools, and more.
  • Lectures given by renowned researchers who inform students about the latest advances in the field.
  • Professors who are internationally renowned for their publications and their prestigious awards and grants.
