Overview

The School of Political Studies offers graduate programs leading to the Graduate Diploma in Public Management and Governance, and to the degrees of Master of Arts (MA) and PhD in Political Science. The MA program is offered both full- and part-time whereas the PhD program is offered full-time only. The programs are offered in French and English. Three options are available for the MA: the MA with thesis, the MA with research paper and the MA with research paper and coop option. The graduate program also offers a Microprogram in Survey Research and Public Opinion to professionals. Students already admitted into the Master or Ph.D. programs in Political Science or Public Administration can complete the microprogram on an optional basis and have these credits count towards the program requirements in view of obtaining their degree (students registered in Public Administration need the approval of the Supervisor of the M.A. and Doctoral studies in Public Administration before enrolling in the microprogram). The completion of the microprogram will be mentioned in their transcript. It is possible to follow the Master’s or the PhD program exclusively in French. Students who enroll in their program in French (MA or PhD) must take the majority of their courses in French: Master’s with Thesis: students must take at least three of their required courses in French. Master’s with Major Research Paper (with or without the coop option): students must take at least four of their required courses in French. PhD: students must take at least three courses in French. Students who enroll in their program in English (MA or PhD) must take and pass at least one of their required courses in French. All students are permitted to hand in their assignments in French or in English. At the time of admission, students must have an active knowledge of French and a passive understanding of English. French is the working language of the School’s meetings, including those of the graduate students’ association, and in the School’s internal communications.
