Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to speak French to study at McGill?
Not for most programmes — instruction at McGill is primarily in English. However, living in Montreal benefits significantly from basic French, and some programmes (particularly law) have French components. Students who know French will find daily life in Montreal much easier.
Are McGill tuition fees lower than other Canadian universities?
McGill's tuition is among the lowest for international students of any major Canadian research university — particularly for Quebec residents (domestic). International student fees are still substantial (CAD 22,000–35,000/year) but lower than Toronto or UBC for comparable programmes.
