About Summer Studies

Looking to expand your knowledge base, take some courses before university starts, or make up a few credits? McGill offers a wide array of condensed summer courses on two campuses designed for current students, visiting students, international students, or inter-university transfers.

Studying at McGill during the summer allows you to take advantage of everything Montréal has to offer. McGill is right in the heart of one of North America's most appealing and cosmopolitan cities. Montréal is lively, sophisticated, fun, and affordable. As an English-speaking university based in Montréal, McGill is perfectly situated to offer you many opportunities to explore the French language and Quebec culture while studying in English.
