Université Laval will provide a distinctive and memorable student experience in symbiosis with new technology and enriched by experimentation. Students will have access to a comprehensive ecosystem designed to boost skill development through increased opportunities for partnership- and research-based projects, internships, simulations, and explorations. The campus will be a space for meeting and interacting where digital tools go hand in hand with a student-centred approach fostering an active and revamped style of learning. Université Laval will assist and support its learners throughout their lives—from the moment they establish their first contact (in Québec City or abroad) or first set foot on campus to when they come back mid-career for additional training. And we will provide this support in an inclusive and egalitarian environment where respect and tolerance prevail over all forms of sexual violence and harassment.

Objectives

Enrich the student experience

Enrich the student experience

We will make the student community central to the university experience by reviewing our programs to ensure they offer distinctive hands-on training across the board.

We will offer more short training options adapted to individual needs. We will innovate and be flexible in order to create a rich, stimulating, and integrated experience, beginning from students' first contact with the University and continuing through every stage of their lives.

 

Actions

Increase internationalization

We will establish academic pathways that improve access to international mobility, global discovery, and contact with other cultures. We will step up international recruitment and improve the support provided to students—from immigration through to graduation—while helping to ensure their smooth and successful integration into the job market. We will work in partnership with Québec City, a university city of exceptional potential with numerous top-notch partners. Because knowledge changes the world, Université Laval will facilitate international networking and global partnerships.

Attract and support people in their lifelong learning

Attract and support people in their lifelong learning

We must build bridges to the largest possible pool of learners, regardless of their background and experience. We must be creative in the way we recruit, integrate, and support students in their lifelong learning by adapting to their needs.

 

Action

Embrace the digital revolution

We must equip our campus with innovative digital tools inspired by the smart cities movement and the 4th industrial revolution in order to offer state-of-the-art services. The use of digital tools will enhance every aspect of the academic and research experience.

 

Actions

Embrace the digital revolution
Support equity, diversity, and inclusion

Support equity, diversity, and inclusion

We will celebrate diversity in all its forms by promoting a climate of equity, respect, and inclusion and by building an environment free of sexual violence and harassment. The University will set a benchmark by providing a healthy environment that values respect and equality.
