Overview

This is a 45-credit Master's programme (Maitrise) in French-Language Literatures at the Universite de Montreal, delivered on campus in full-time or part-time formats. The programme emphasizes research, reflection, and experimentation in literary analysis, theory, and creation, and offers two options: Research, culminating in a thesis or memoir, and Research-Creation, combining an original literary work with critical analysis. The department offers about a dozen seminars each year and provides average annual funding of $6,000 to students.
