Corporate/Government Newsroom
McGill University is one of Canada's best-known institutions of higher learning and one of the leading universities in the world. With students coming to McGill from some 150 countries, our student body is the most internationally diverse of any research-intensive university in the country. McGill was founded in 1821 thanks to a generous bequest by James McGill, and since then, we've grown from a small college to a bustling university with three campuses, 11 faculties, some 300 programs of study, and more than 37,500 students. The University also partners with four affiliated teaching hospitals to graduate over 1,000 health care professionals each year.
The goal of McGill University's social media platforms is to strengthen our community, which includes students, faculty, and alumni. The aim is to provide information on events, campus news and promote networking.

McGill researchers develop a more efficient way to identify when AI responses may need human review
McGill University researchers have developed a more energy-efficient method of building AI systems that are better at measuring – and indicating – their own uncertainty.

Scientific Day raises profile of African women in STEM, tackles research biases
File image Close to 47 per cent of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduates in Africa are women, one of the highest rates in the world, according to a UNESCO report released earlier this year. But that representation does not carry over to research or leadership roles, explained Mame Diarra Touré, a McGill University PhD student in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. As an artificial intelligence (AI) researcher, she sees that gap as more than an equity issue.
