Program details
Overview
The Doctorat en anthropologie at Universite de Montreal is a 90-credit research doctorate offered by the Departement d'anthropologie, providing polyvalent, multidisciplinary training across four specializations: ethnology, archaeology, bioanthropology and ethnolinguistics, with a museology option also available. Students develop critical thinking and independent research skills through fieldwork, laboratory work and specialized seminars, culminating in a doctoral thesis. The program is offered full-time or part-time with daytime courses, and includes the possibility of an international study exchange. Before applying, a candidate must secure a faculty member willing to direct the thesis or research project. Applicants submit a letter of intent of two to three pages describing their doctoral research interest and naming the supervising professor, a curriculum vitae, a research project outline of 200 to 500 words, and two letters of recommendation. A master's degree or equivalent in anthropology or a related field is required; files are assessed through qualitative review rather than a fixed grade cutoff. New students are admitted in the Fall term.
