Program details

Overview

The Doctorat en histoire is a 90-credit research doctorate at Universite de Montreal, offered full-time or part-time on the Montreal campus. Students carry out original, supervised historical research leading to a doctoral thesis, defended before a jury, working closely with a research director in the Department of History. The program does not restrict candidates to a single period, region or methodology, allowing research directions across the discipline's subfields. Admission is organized around the candidate's proposed research project: applicants must obtain a faculty member's agreement to direct their thesis before submitting an application, supported by a letter of acceptance from a research director within the department. The program prepares graduates for research careers, postsecondary teaching, and work in archives, museums and other cultural or heritage institutions. New students are admitted in the fall and winter terms.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants need a master's degree or equivalent, with the specific prior credential depending on whether it was obtained in Quebec, elsewhere in Canada, or internationally. A faculty member in the Department of History must agree to direct the candidate's thesis or research project before an application can be submitted, and a letter of acceptance from that research director is required. The application file must also include a curriculum vitae, a cover letter of 200 to 700 words, a research project outline of 200 to 500 words, and two letters of recommendation.
