Program details
Overview
The Master's in Public Administration with a concentration in Health and Social Services Management, offered by ENAP (École nationale d'administration publique) under its Manager profile, is a 45-credit Master of Public Administration (M.A.P.) built around coursework and a mandatory integration activity rather than a thesis. It includes five mandatory core courses (18 credits), three one-credit seminars on public administration challenges (3 credits), four concentration courses focused on health and social services management (12 credits), two elective courses (6 credits), and a capstone chosen between an organizational project or an integration seminar for managers (9 credits). It is delivered mainly at the Quebec City and Montreal campuses, with select courses available online. The program targets managers already working in, or aspiring to, health-care and social-services positions, drawing candidates from public health networks, private organizations, and social-economy enterprises providing socio-sanitary services. It suits health and social-services professionals moving into or already holding management responsibilities.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.20 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent with a minimum cumulative average of 3.2 out of 4.3; candidates averaging between 2.7 and 3.2 may still be considered after review of academic and professional background, with admission sometimes made conditional on bridging courses. Applicants without a bachelor's degree may instead qualify with appropriate knowledge, training, or at least ten years of professional-level work experience. All candidates need a minimum of two years of professional-level work experience managing an administrative unit or project with responsibility for human, material, financial, or informational resources; those lacking management experience must submit a supervisor's reference form. ENAP requires a very good command of French and English sufficient to understand written material; per the university's admission-process page, non-Quebec-francophone applicants must meet a French threshold of TFI 860/990, a passing DALF result, or 4.6/5.0 on FIVE STAR, with no fixed English score published. Basic office-software literacy is expected, an interview may be requested, and students must obtain a citation-and-source-certification badge before their second term.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Quebec and the rest of Canada) apply directly to ENAP: the application deadline is 1 June for Fall entry, 1 November for Winter entry, and 15 March for Summer entry, though third-cycle (PhD) programmes admit for Fall and Winter only. International admission runs in fixed windows rather than a single deadline: Fall 2026 and Winter 2027 admissions are already closed, no international admission is offered for Summer 2027, and applications for Fall 2027 open in November 2026 with Winter 2028 opening in January 2027; French and Belgian citizens under reciprocity agreements follow different rules. Dates are subject to change once capacity is reached. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
