McGill University (French: Université McGill) is an English-language public research University located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Founded in 1821 by royal charter,[12] the university bears the name of James McGill, a Scottish merchant,[13] whose bequest in 1813 established the University of McGill College. In 1885, the name was officially changed to McGill University.
Currently, McGill has an enrollment of close to 35,000 students. Its main campus is on the slope of Mount Royal in downtown Montreal in the borough of Ville-Marie, with a second campus situated in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of the main campus on Montreal Island. The university is one of two members of the Association of American Universities located outside the United States,[14] alongside the University of Toronto, and is the only Canadian member of the Global University Leaders Forum (GULF) within the World Economic Forum.[15] The university offers degrees and diplomas in over 300 fields of study. Most students are enrolled in the six largest faculties: Arts, Science, Medicine, Education, Engineering, and Management.[16]
McGill alumni, faculty, and affiliates include 12 Nobel laureates[17] and 148 Rhodes Scholars,[18] the current prime minister and two former prime ministers of Canada, and two Governors General of Canada. McGill alumni also include 9 Academy Award winners,[note 1] 13 Grammy Award winners,[note 2] 13 Emmy Award winners,[note 3] four Pulitzer Prize winners,[note 4] and 121 Olympians with over 35 Olympic medals.[21]
