Basic information and contact details for Université du Québec

institution
The Université du Québec is a system of 10 public universities in Quebec, Canada, with the main headquarters in Quebec City.

The network of universities was modelled on the American University systems that already existed at the time. It coordinates 300 programmes for over 87,000 students. Université du Québec was first ranked by THE in the 2018 World University Rankings. Prior to this, one of the institutions that formed part of the Université du Québec system, Université du Québec à Montréal, was ranked as a separate insititution.
