One University, Two Campuses
Université du Québec à Rimouski (UQAR) is a comprehensive French-language institution of higher learning firmly rooted in the local community. Since its establishment by a group of visionaries in 1969, UQAR has helped to develop and spread knowledge across a vast area. The Rimouski campus where UQAR is headquartered meets the training and research needs of the Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie, Îles-de-la-Madeleine, and Côte-Nord regions in particular, while the Lévis campus mainly serves the riverside communities of Quebec City and Chaudière-Appalaches. UQAR is part of Université du Québec, the biggest university network in Canada with over 86,000 students. The university is truly dedicated to serving the people of its vast territory and the students who choose to study there. With its attractive undergraduate and graduate research and teaching programs, UQAR welcomes some 6,500 students every year, more than 400 of whom are international students from over 35 countries. It has one of the province’s highest success rates and its graduates are widely sought after by employers who recognize the quality of their training. UQAR is present in various fields of knowledge and is actively involved in many teaching and research partnerships. Over the years, UQAR has developed special expertise in several areas of research that have significantly contributed to the institution’s international reputation, notably marine sciences, regional development, and nordicity. UQAR also has a tradition of decentralizing its activities. Professors and lecturers travel to various communities throughout the region to offer continuing education programs in a variety of fields. In addition to its campuses in Rimouski and Lévis, UQAR has offices in Gaspé and Rivière-du-Loup. It also works closely with the Centre universitaire du secteur ouest de la Côte-Nord and the Centre d’études universitaires des Appalaches. Certain research activities are also conducted off campus, notably in the Gaspé Peninsula and the Magdalen Islands. Studying at UQAR means choosing a university with strong community ties, an institution on a human scale where student success is a priority.
