McGill University is one of Canada's best-known institutions of higher learning and one of the leading universities in the world.
With students coming to McGill from some 150 countries, our student body is the most internationally diverse of any research-intensive university in the country.
McGill was founded in 1821 thanks to a generous bequest by James McGill, and since then, we've grown from a small college to a bustling university with two campuses, 11 faculties, some 300 programs of study, and more than 37,500 students.
The University also partners with four affiliated teaching hospitals to graduate over 1,000 health care professionals each year.
