MA/MS in Maîtrise en muséologie

This Master's in Museology is a 45-credit graduate program offered jointly by Universite de Montreal and UQAM, with shared courses in the first two terms and a directed-work pathway. Coursework covers the history and functions of museums, museum organization and management, conservation techniques, ethnomuseology, art-historical museology, and natural-science collections, along with inventory and data-management methods. The program includes a mandatory three-month internship in a museum in Quebec or abroad and an intensive seminar held with the Ecole du Louvre in Paris. It is completed full-time on the Montreal campus, with a minimum course load of four terms. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in history, anthropology, art history, communications, library science, biological sciences, physics, music, or a related field. Applicants submit a letter of intent, a curriculum vitae, a career plan, and two confidential letters of recommendation, and complete an admission interview; a background check is required for internship placements. Entry is offered for the Winter and Fall terms. Graduates become museum conservators, directors, exhibition project managers, collections archivists, and museum communications coordinators.
