"With some 300 buildings, 40,000 students, 250,000 living alumni, and a reputation for excellence that reaches around the globe, McGill University has carved out a spot among the world's greatest universities.

Downtown campus, located at the heart of the city of Montreal, the largest city in the province of Quebec, and the second largest city of Canada, is the vibrant cultural city of the country for centuries. Second largest francophone city in the world after Paris, the majority of Montrealers are indeed bilingual (English and French), which adds an additional flavour of harmonious multicultural convergence, to an already rich and unique cosmopolitain city in Canada, and in North America.

Montreal was named North America's leading host city for international association events, according to the 2009 preliminary rankings of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA). The 2016 edition of QS Best Student Cities ranked Montreal the 7th-best city in the world to be a university student.

We invite you to explore some of the momentous achievements of McGill and McGillians. While we're proud of what we've accomplished, our story is still being written, and new chapters are added all the time. If you're considering an academic career at McGill, we hope that one day you will count your own pages among them."
