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. These departments are aware of the importance of bilingualism in order for graduate students to succeed in their research careers.
Students who are proficient in English are therefore welcome and accepted into graduate-level programs.
The Department of Microbiology, Infectious Diseases and Immunology 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:
- Access to course notes in both French and English.
- Possibility of taking an equivalent course at an English-language university in Montréal (first session only).
- Choice of giving oral seminar presentations in either French or English.
- Choice of writing exams in French or English.
- Choice of taking the comprehensive exam in either French or English.
- Choice of writing your doctoral thesis or dissertation in French or English.
All laboratories are offered in a bilingual environment. Above all, staff in the program are available to help and support you throughout your studies.
