University of Québec, Chicoutimi

Since 1971, UQAC has been giving students from Alma, La Malbaie, Saint-Félicien and Sept-Îles the possibility to study in their respective regions. These off-campus study centres, designed to facilitate access to university studies in the region, offer programs in a wide range of appealing subjects such as Administration, Human Resources Management, Health Sciences, Education Science, Psychology, Arts and Humanities, Environment and Computer Science. Using televised teaching, students can simultaneously take a training course from Saguenay. Presently and since several years now, the Institution is working on the research level in order to ensure that their technological discoveries and scientific breakthroughs become a reality in the university setting not only in Quebec, but also abroad. Accordingly, UQAC would like to become - with its professors, research chairs, laboratories and students - a reference for niches of excellence.
