Student life is always buzzing at Polytechnique Montréal!
Through its dynamic student association and its variety of committees and technical clubs, you will have the opportunity to get involved at all levels, no matter your interests. Technical projects, theatre, international competitions, themed evenings, photography, politics, IT or event organization, our student population is so active that we sometimes wonder when they have time for studying… or sleeping!
Technical clubs bring together true enthusiasts from all branches of engineering. Their common goal is to carry out projects to participate in provincial, national and international competitions taking place on land, at sea and in the air. Polytechnique Montréal supports these students by providing funds as well as the space and equipment to carry out their work.
At Polytechnique Montréal, anything is possible… or almost! More than forty committees bring life to the student experience throughout the year in a wide variety of fields.

Your time at Polytechnique will provide you with the perfect opportunity to get involved in a committee whose mission speaks to your interests, forging ties with other students who share the same passions as you do.

In order to highlight the commitment of Polytechnique Montréal students, several recognition programs have been put in place to officially recognize the formative value of sustained effort. Recognition programs are there to highlight the achievements of students and thus prepare them to enter the world of work by developing their strengths and deploying their full potential within the framework of a balanced educational program.
This program recognizes the ability of students to push their limits and to excel not only on the academic front in the field of engineering, but also in other fields of activity such as the arts, sports, social commitment and entrepreneurship. This profile is accompanied by a $2,000 scholarship, awarded by the Fondation et Alumni de Polytechnique Montréal on behalf of its generous donor, Mr. J.V. Raymond Cyr, Po 58.
This program showcases students who have demonstrated an openness to the world by completing an international internship or working outside Canada during their studies at Polytechnique. It recognizes an adaptation to other cultures as well as fluency in French and English, as well as knowledge of a third language.
The purpose of Action-Poly is to highlight the contribution of students who have distinguished themselves through diligent commitment and an active contribution to student life at Polytechnique.
