Overview
Université de Sherbrooke (UdeS) is a French-language public research university in Quebec, Canada, with a strong reputation for academic breadth, research strength and international engagement. Founded in 1954, it now has approximately 31,000 students enrolled, including about 3,000 international students from over 100 countries.
The university operates across three campuses: the main Sherbrooke campus, which hosts the majority of faculties, administrative offices and support services; the Health Campus, dedicated to medicine, health sciences, biomedical research and clinical partnerships; and the Longueuil campus, which offers logistical and material support for many programmes, especially those serving the greater Montreal region.
For international students, Sherbrooke offers a rich environment: study in a francophone setting, with strong research infrastructure, a wide variety of programmes, and the chance to live in a region that combines natural beauty, a lower cost of living (relative to larger cities), and a welcoming community.
Services

To help students' professional development, the Co-op Work Term and Professional Development Services organises job fairs, recruiting campaigns, career days and other activities that help students get hired while learning. The team largely contributes to the career advancement of students at the University.
More than 1,600 international students are at the University of Sherbrooke, hailing from over 80 countries. More than 82% of the students at the University are from outside Sherbrooke, making it a truly international community.
