Welcome
For the pleasure of learning!
Université du Québec en
Outaouais (UQO) is a dynamic university where everyone feels at home. Considered
as a university with a human side promoting learning and reflection, the UQO has
grown, evolved and adapted its programs to meet the needs of its clientele with
proper consideration given to the characteristics of the region.
As part
of the Université du Québec System, UQO can count on educational resources and
common services from the most important university system in Canada.
UQO s location in Gatineau, a few minutes from the border between Québec and
Ontario, provides obvious geographical and cultural advantages. Situated right
beside Ottawa, the nation s capital, our university offers unique opportunities
to our students, thanks to its multicultural and bilingual surroundings.
Gatineau is also known for its quality of life, provided in part by the presence
of multiple parks and tranquil green spaces throughout the city.
Since 2004, UQO also offers some programs in the heart of the
Laurentides, more specifically in the city of Saint-JĂ©rĂ´me. In January 2010, a
brand new campus will be opening its doors to close to 1000 students to provide
better services to this growing community.
People oriented, with
classes made up of small groups of students and UQO gives students the will to
learn, build a career and succeed in life. That is what attracts some 5,400
registered students mainly from the Outaouais but also from Eastern Ontario, the
Maritimes and the elsewhere in Québec . UQO's reputation has grown beyond our
borders and attracts an increasing number of students from abroad.
A
university involved in the community
Dynamic and tuned in to the community,
UQO is contributing to the social, economic and cultural development of the
Outaouais population and of its regional organizations with which close links
have been forged. The University-Milieu Liaison Office (professional learning
center) is the entry point for organizations and firms interested in partnering
with or accessing services from the University.
Its activities are spread
over a vast territory 33,000 km2 in area with a population of close to 300,000.
Besides serving the urban region of the Outaouais, the University provides
teaching services to centres such as Mont-Laurier, Fort-Coulonge, Sainte-Agathe,
Papineauville, Maniwaki, Buckingham, l'Annonciation and Masham. |
