How much will my university studies cost?
Tuition fees are the same at all universities in Québec. The Université de Montréal has developed a calculator to estimate your tuition and other fees payable for your studies.
Please note that the fees are estimated according to your immigration status in Canada, the program’s level of study (FEP programs are undergraduate, with the exception of the D.E.S.S., which is a graduate degree), and the number of university credits (generally 1 FEP course = 3 credits).
