Sherbrooke is a university that gives its students a chance to see the world, offering opportunities abroad in more than 40 countries so students can expand their intercultural and language skills. Meanwhile, more than 1,600 foreign students from 88 countries attend the university. Sherbrooke features small class sizes, close relationships between professors and students, and a wide range of programs integrated with co-op and internships that provide more than 5,000 placements each year. At the graduate level, the school recently launched a new diploma in sport governance and anti-doping. “Sherbrooke offers an exceptional environment for pursuing university studies. Renowned for its methods of learning, our university is one of the most appreciated in Canada by its students,” says rector Pierre Cossette.

A green oasis with a waterfall is at the heart of the main campus, and nearby Mont-Bellevue Park offers activities such as skiing and snowshoeing. The university has two satellite campuses: the Sherbrooke Health campus, which is home to a vast biomedical complex, including a hospital, a pharmacology institute and a clinical research centre; and the Longueuil campus, which offers more than 120 continuing education programs in fields such as administration, education, engineering and health sciences. Many classes are held in the evenings or on weekends to make them accessible for students with full-time jobs. Sherbrooke’s medical program is also offered in Saguenay and Moncton through partnerships with the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi and the Université de Moncton.
