“I wanted a French-speaking city with a more intimate, friendly feel. Québec City seemed like a good fit, with its historic Old City and green spaces. University Laval was also a highly ranked school with an excellent reputation—and a lot more affordable than business schools in France. 

I fell in love with Québec and decided to stay. The booming economy and very low unemployment rate were a sign of the great opportunities the region had to offer. My time at Université Laval, my amazing professors, and all the extracurricular activities set me up to achieve my goals.”

Graduate of the Faculty of Business Administration
Bachelor’s Degree with Specialization in Accounting and DESS in Accounting
 

“When I came to Université Laval, I took part in the Student Life Office’s orientation activities. I love living in Québec City. The people are more open than in Belgium. There are always organized activities and it is close to Montréal and New York! 

I got to meet with my program director and learn about all the options available. After trying out different fields, I found the perfect program for me. The courses are straightforward and interactive. I love how engaged and available the professors are. The group work really make sense of the topics we studied. It was also a way to make lots of friends.”

“When you join a research group, it makes networking easier. Université Laval has a fantastic lineup of programs and courses, including some in English, which made it possible for my wife to join me. I study and work in English. The teaching staff are very helpful and understanding.

We had our first child during the pandemic. We were relieved to see our healthcare costs covered by Desjardins insurance. The administrative staff is bilingual and always there to help us. It is reassuring to know we can count on the university!”
