Frequently asked questions
What are the admission requirements for the stage option?
Admissions requirements for the MA in English program are the same for every stream. All students are registered in the MA without thesis in the 1st instance.
What is the MA in English structure?
See the program structure and the different courses associated with the streams.
Why is the enrolment limited for the stage stream?
As opposed to the thesis or travail dirigé streams, the stage is limited to 12 students per year to make sure everyone has access to a professional supervisor. Stage requests must be submitted to the Comité des études supérieures before the end of the 2nd term.
Will the stage affect my admissibility to the PhD program?
The stage stream normally does not lead to the PhD program. The thesis or travail dirigé stream is the normal prerequisite for doctoral studies.
Must I write a thesis in the stage stream?
No. The stage concludes with an internship report.
Will the stage ensure a college teaching position?
The Department does not provide work placement services to students. Nevertheless, a solid disciplinary training program along with a college teaching experience obtained via practical activities greatly enhance any job application.
