McGill University Faculty of Medicine

What McGill University Faculty of Medicine does

McGill University Faculty of Medicine is one of several faculties within McGill University, a public, non-profit research university incorporated under the laws of Quebec, Canada, and founded via royal charter in 1821. The institution operates from a downtown Montreal campus at 845 Sherbrooke Street West, with a secondary Macdonald Campus in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue housing the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, and delivers services through centralized units including International Student Services, McGill University Libraries (13 branches including the Osler Library of History of Medicine, Schulich Library, and Islamic Studies Library), and the School of Continuing Studies.

The university serves undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, postdoctoral, and international students alongside faculty and researchers, offering degree programs, research infrastructure, immigration and health insurance support, and bilingual (English/French) education. Core technology platforms include the Minerva student information system, myCourses LMS, Workday for HR, Banner INB for administration, and the eScholarship@McGill open-access repository (migrating to the Scholaris platform with go-live June 1, 2026). Revenue is generated through tuition and fees, government and private research grants, student services (housing, dining, oneCard), and private donations, with pricing information published via Student Accounts rather than commercial rate cards. Marketing and recruitment rely on organic social channels, virtual campus tours, pre-arrival webinars, and web analytics tools (Google Analytics, Hotjar, Clarity) to drive domestic and international enrollment.
