Université du Québec à Montréal

The Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM; French pronunciation: [ynivɛʁsite dy kebɛk a mɔ̃ʁeal]) is a French-language public research university based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is the largest constituent element of the Université du Québec system. UQAM was founded on April 9, 1969, by the government of Quebec, through the merger of the École des beaux-arts de Montréal, a fine arts school; the Collège Sainte-Marie, a classical college; and a number of smaller schools. Although part of the UQ network, UQAM possesses a relative independence which allows it to choose its rector.
