The IRCM:
promoting excellence in
biomedical research
The IRCM is a state-of-the-art biomedical research institute and the research conducted there is world-renowned. Beyond the quality of its research, the Institute integrates an essential clinical component, cutting-edge technological platforms, and partnerships with Université de Montréal and McGill University. Training the next generation of researchers is one of the pillars of our mission and has been written in our DNA since the Institute’s founding in 1967.
A unique place to
live in America
Located right in the heart of Montreal and close to major universities, the IRCM moves to the rhythms of a bustling Latin Quarter with a European charm. Here, scientific endeavours are as rich as the city’s cultural life. Montreal is inclusive and open to the world, and its location makes it one of the most accessible major cities in America for pursuing studies. It is first and foremost a French-speaking city, but its multicultural nature makes English a shared language that is used in everyday communication.

Quebec’s
university system
The Quebec university system is aligned with the North American model which is composed of three levels of university study. The academic year includes three 15-week trimesters: the fall trimester (late August to mid-December), the winter trimester (January to April) and the summer trimester (May to August).
Undergraduate level
The first level of university study normally leads to a bachelor’s degree. It requires three to four years of study, and 90 to 120 credits are required to obtain a degree.
