The official portal identifies the institution as Université de Montréal and describes UdeM, with HEC Montréal and Polytechnique Montréal, as the leading higher education and research hub in Quebec.
Model elements: this source is used for institution identity and city context.
The official first-cycle catalogue describes more than 250 programmes covering baccalauréats, mineures, majeures, certificats and doctorats de 1er cycle.
The page's filters show 317 active first-cycle results, including 120 baccalauréats, 37 majeures, 49 mineures and 41 certificats de 1er cycle.
Model elements: this establishes a broad first-cycle architecture with majors, minors and certificates rather than only fixed single-degree programmes.
UdeM states that 90 credits, equivalent to 3 years of full-time study, generally lead to a first-cycle diploma called baccalauréat.
The page defines baccalauréat spécialisé, baccalauréat bidisciplinaire and baccalauréat multidisciplinaire. For the bidisciplinary baccalauréat, the content is in equal parts from two disciplines or related fields, with each part usually at least 42 specified credits.
It gives baccalauréat and baccalauréat par cumul duration as 3 or 4 years, doctorat de 1er cycle as 4 to 5 years, majeure as 60 credits or 2 years, and mineure as 30 credits or 1 year.
It also says majeures can be combined with a mineure, certificat or another majeure to form a baccalauréat par cumul.
Model elements: the bidisciplinary baccalauréat and the major plus major route support programChoice 4. This is not programChoice 5 because choices are made through defined programme types and approved combinations.
The BACCUM page says a baccalauréat par cumul is obtained by combining first-cycle diplomas, at least one awarded by UdeM, and can lead to B.A., B.Sc. or B.Gest. depending on programme choices.
As a general rule, a BACCUM can consist of one majeure plus one mineure or certificat, or three mineures or certificats. UdeM also says students can apply to enter all programmes of a cumulative baccalauréat simultaneously, sequentially or through a hybrid approach.
The conditions section says a cumulative baccalauréat can be formed by one majeure plus one mineure or certificat, three mineures or certificats, or two majeures exceptionally.
Model elements: this source confirms the regular major plus minor structure and clarifies the caveat on double-major evidence: two majeures are documented, but more constrained than the major plus minor path.
UdeM International presents outbound opportunities for UdeM students to study, do an internship or undertake research abroad.
The page describes student exchange as studying for one or two terms at a university outside Quebec, and also lists credited activities or research offered by partners that must contribute to the diploma.
Model elements: this establishes formal outbound mobility options, while the exchange programme page gives the direct credit-recognition rule.
The official exchange page says UdeM students can study for one or two terms outside Quebec as part of their UdeM pathway.
At first cycle, eligible students study in a UdeM baccalauréat or majeure, must satisfy department requirements, and must have completed 24 credits in their UdeM programme by the exchange departure.
For all cycles, students must be registered full time at both UdeM and the host institution, obtain academic-unit approval through a provisional learning agreement, and satisfy host requirements.
The page requires students to choose host institutions, check that the host is open to their programme, department or faculty, and make sure the host course offer is sufficient in their discipline.
On return, successful first-cycle courses abroad that meet host requirements and were approved in the learning agreement are recognized as equivalences on the UdeM transcript and counted for the UdeM diploma.
Strict cross-registration review: this source does not prove ordinary selection of individual external courses that can be credited into the degree record. It remains mobility or transfer context, while courseChoice is lowered to 1 based on verified internal elective or optional blocks inside programmes.
The official UdeM in figures page reports 46,820 UdeM students separately from HEC Montréal and Polytechnique Montréal, and gives the first-cycle share as 73%. The undergraduateEnrollment total is calculated as 46,820 x 73% and rounded to 34,179.
The source does not split first-cycle enrollment into baccalauréat and other first-cycle programmes, so bachelor remains null. The specialist degree level does not apply to the Canadian model.
