Sherbrooke,

A TRUE COLLEGE TOWN Sherbrooke ranks as Quebec's sixth largest city with a population of 150,000. In addition to being bilingual, Sherbrooke is home to two universities —one English speaking and the other French speaking—and three colleges. The vast majority of the student population comes from outside of the city, making Sherbrooke a young, vibrant, and vital city. Moreover, the cost of living in Sherbrooke is very reasonable and there are no traffic jams to speak of. The area's lakes, rivers, and mountains combine to make Sherbrooke an outstanding place to live. Downtown Reasons why Sherbrooke stands out from other towns in the country: 20% OF ITS POPULATION PURSUES POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION 60% OF ITS ECONOMY IS LINKED TO THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY ITS HIGHLY ADVANTAGEOUS POSITION AS AN INTEGRATED STUDENT CITY IN A SELECT CLUB COMPRISING A SMALL NUMBER OF CITIES AROUND THE WORLD

holds a great deal of attraction for students, with its movie theatres, cafés, bars, and small clubs where independent rock groups perform, giving Sherbrooke its own reputation in the music industry.

UdeS and

THE WORLD UdeS's reputation for vitality and innovation attracts students from across the province and around the world. More than 85% of the University's student population comes from outside Sherbrooke, creating a warm atmosphere that lets new students integrate into the community easier.

Internationalization at UdeS means: 3,500 international students and immigrants from 100 countries 375 exchange students through student mobility programs 229 international cooperative agreements with 49 countries Cultural diversity reflected in faculty representation, since 23% of faculty members were born outside of Canada Active partnerships with the RĂŠseau Latinus (initiative linking Romance-language universities) and the Confucius Institute

Cooperative

INTERNSHIPS The Université de Sherbrooke's co-op program gives students the opportunity to work for companies in their chosen fields and meet actual professionals, while working towards their degrees. This original and practical approach alternates semesters of academic study with

Total of $37M a year paid directly to interns

semesters of full-time employment throughout the student's program. The co-op benefits for students include gaining experience and earning a salary. Employers benefit from the services and knowledge of the next generation of university graduates highly interested in learning and succeeding. In 1966, the Université de Sherbrooke established Quebec's first university co-op program and remains the definite leader in this field. Our co-op offering consists of more than 40 programs, concentrations, and pathways.

Note: Only Canadian citizens and landed immigrants can take part in the cooperative program.

Each year, our students go on nearly 4,000 internships throughout Quebec and even across the world. More than 50 people, including about 30 internship coordinators, seek out internship possibilities in addition to advising and assisting students and employers throughout the cooperative experience.

About 20% of internships in Sherbrooke, 30% in Montréal, 20% in Montérégie, and 10% in Québec City Overall internship placement rate of at least 98% across all programs of study

Co-op graduates amass at least one year of relevant experience before earning their diplomas, while reaping the benefits of unrivaled career preparation that employers genuinely value.
