The Master of Arts (MA) in French at McMaster University is organized around the theme of Francophonie et diversite, exploring francophone literature and culture through geographic, cultural, gender, sexual, racial, generational, and ability-based dimensions of diversity from an interdisciplinary perspective. The program is completed full-time over one year, with admission offered for a September start. It is offered by the Department of French alongside a related doctoral program built around the same thematic focus. The program suits students who want a compact, one-year graduate credential in French studies with a strong cultural and diversity-focused orientation, whether as a step toward doctoral study or as a terminal qualification. It is delivered at McMaster University's Hamilton campus.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants whose undergraduate specialization is in French or Francophone literatures and cultures, or an equivalent program, are encouraged to apply. Admission is based primarily on the strength of academic grades and the quality of letters of recommendation rather than a fixed minimum average. The application requires a letter of intent written in French (about one to one and a half pages) describing the applicant's research interests and academic background, official transcripts from the first year of university onward, two reference letters from undergraduate professors, and a curriculum vitae, along with a CAD 110 non-refundable application fee. The TOEFL English-proficiency test is not required for admission to the MA in French program.
