Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières

The Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières draws on its history and setting for inspiration. Its Centre for Quebec Studies, for example, is an homage to a city that traces its roots back to 1634, while UQTR’s focus is firmly planted in the 21st century. The school also has campuses in Drummondville, Quebec, L’Assomption, Terrebonne, Joliette and Longueuil. UQTR offers more than 390 programs in areas across 27 departments, including engineering, administration, health, education and human and social sciences. Students may complement their degrees with 100 courses, certificates and microprograms offered entirely online. Notable research units include the Innovations Institute in Ecomaterials, Ecoproducts and Ecoenergies (I2E3) and the Research Institute for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises. The Hydrogen Research Institute is a leader in the development of sustainable energy systems, while the laboratory ship Lampsilis conducts research on aquatic ecosystems along the St. Lawrence River. Researchers at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies on the Development of the Child and the Family are experts in areas such as child abuse and domestic violence.
