Few know its reason for being. The icons who have walked under its arch. The national institution that’s produced Canadian leaders since 1876: The Royal Military College of Canada.
Ex-cadets Garneau, Hadfield, McKay, Hansen and Kutryk are proof of its quality education and military training.
RMC, and RMC Saint-Jean, both educate and develop leaders for Canada, with a four-pillar undergraduate degree consisting of:
Military Leadership, Fitness and Wellness, Bilingualism, and Academics, which is at the heart of military officer training.
RMC offers a first-class university education that prepares students for their career in the Canadian Armed Forces with a wide variety of relevant programs, passionate professors, small class sizes, and its success centre.
RMC produces graduates ready with quality education for effective military service - anywhere in the world - right after they leave campus.
Expect to be challenged. We socialize this very early on because of the demands of military life in service to Canada, so our students will get the opportunity to grow both mentally and physically and are expected to embody the Canadian Forces ethos and values.
Our students gain a network for life and in addition, they'll get practical leadership experience earlier on in their career that will serve them well for the rest of their time in the Canadian Armed Forces.
This military university has small class sizes and professors’ whose expertise and dedication to their students is internationally recognized.
It has labs that make it unique, and RMC’s well-rounded education gives students the knowledge and experiences they need for military career progression.
RMC’s Athletics Staff and Coaches make sure students are as fit and mentally strong as possible.
The staff partakes in ongoing professional development to ensure the fitness and wellness of all students.
There are very few people that I've met that care as much and are willing to put as much out there.
You know that you can always pick up the phone, and call somebody for support.
The main goal of the varsity team is to create leaders for the CAF in the future and it creates a mental resiliency that the officers here at RMC are able to bring to the table when they become CAF officers.
RMC boasts nearly fifteen hundred students on campus.
We have the civilian faculty, of course, but we also have military members who are military faculty here.
Part of their role is to really enrich the education for our students and give them a sense of what it means to be a Naval or Officer Cadet and to be role models for them as they move into taking those leadership roles in the Canadian Armed Forces.
RMC also reflects a diverse, bilingual, and inclusive workforce – grounded in a culture of excellence in teaching, research, innovation and academic support.
Military personnel and civilians can further their education at the graduate level, through various Master’s and Doctoral degrees programs at RMC.
From technical programs for the Army and Special Forces, to Cyber Security and Chartered Professional Accountants education, RMC offers a range of opportunities, and prepares senior officers for command and staff appointments, through the Master of Defence studies offered at the Canadian Forces College in Toronto.
Distance learning is also an option, as well as various certificates and courses.
For the Royal Military College being a federal institution is not required to do quality assurance, that is external, but because we want to ensure that all of our programs are of extraordinary excellence, we voluntarily submit all of our programs to this external review. The Quality Assurance Program from the Council of Interior Universities.
A leader in defence research, RMC responds to the needs of the defence and security community with unique state-of-the-art, and world-renowned programs and research facilities.
RMC researchers are deeply involved in inquiry-based research, which impacts many fields:
sustainability, cyber security, society, space, strategic studies, artificial intelligence, energetic materials, energy independence, and the environment to name a few.
Open to Canadians and international students, RMC is a university with a difference that embraces the many unique perspectives and talents of Canadian society.
It strives for an enriching environment for students beginning and furthering their military careers.
Now you know… this is the Royal Military College of Canada!
