The Government of Quebec has agreements with some forty countries and a few organizations, under which students who come to study in Quebec are exempt from paying differential tuition fees. Quotas vary among countries. Students wishing to benefit from the exemption must apply to those in charge of the program in their country of origin.
The quotas, the procedures and the contact information for those in charge are listed in the Exemptions Granted by Virtue of Agreements program.
Every term, HEC Montréal offers a number of differential tuition fee exemptions to international students registered in the Master of Management Sciences (M.Sc.) program, regardless of the stream. These exemptions lower the tuition fees payable by these students to the same level as those paid by students from Quebec.
Students registered in the Thesis stream are eligible during their first four (4) terms of study. Students in the Supervised Project stream are eligible every term during which they are registered in the program full-time (minimum of 9 credits during the fall and winter terms, and 6 credits during the summer term).
Moreover, students must have demonstrated a high standard of scholarly achievement, progressed rapidly through their studies and proved that they have unsuccessfully applied for an exemption from their own government.
Interested students must submit their application to the Office of the M.Sc. Program before each term’s deadline.
