MA/MS in Maîtrise en littérature comparée

This is a 48-credit Master's programme (Maitrise) in Comparative Literature at the Universite de Montreal, delivered on campus with day and evening courses in full-time or part-time formats. The programme examines world literatures and forms of cultural expression, including cinema, television, comics, video games, and the performing arts, applying theories and analytical tools drawn from literary studies, cultural anthropology, film studies, philosophy, and art history. Students follow a thesis or directed-research pathway and may publish in the student-run journal Post-Scriptum, with opportunities for international study exchange. Admission requires a bachelor's degree from a recognized institution in Quebec, Canada, or elsewhere, two letters of recommendation, an academic work sample of eight to fifteen pages in French or English (required of applicants who did not complete their undergraduate studies at the Universite de Montreal), and a one-page research project outline with a bibliography, in MLA or Chicago format, covering the problem statement, objectives, theoretical framework, and methodology.
