Established in 1969 following a merger of five Montreal educational institutions, the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) is today the largest institute in the Université du Québec university system.

The main UQAM campus is located in downtown Montreal and in 2005 it was expanded to include a new biology building and new halls of residence, alongside the existing laboratories, workshops and athletic facilities.
UQAM also has four regional centres in Lanaudiere, Laval, Monteregie and Ouest-de-l’ile, all of which offer programs. There are also a number of schools and institutes associated with UQAM and the university offers distance learning courses through a program known as Télé-université.
