What makes studying at McGill different?
McGill has nearly 50 research institutes and centres across three campuses, along with fieldwork stations in Barbados and the high Arctic. We work with a network of health partners in Quebec, including four affiliated hospitals in Montreal. Our graduate students take part in enriching, real-world learning, locally and around the world.

Our downtown campus is steps away from the best restaurants, cafés and nightlife that the city has to offer. About 30 minutes away by shuttle, McGill’s Macdonald Campus is a serene waterfront retreat that offers a “small college” experience and a tight-knit community.
