MA/MS in Maîtrise en sciences de la communication

The Master's in Communication Sciences is a 45-credit graduate program at Universite de Montreal providing theoretical and methodological training to analyze, plan, and evaluate contemporary communication phenomena. It is research-oriented while remaining attentive to professional communication practice, with specialization options in media studies, organizational communication, political communication, journalism studies, and research-creation. The program runs for approximately three terms of coursework and seminars, followed by roughly one year devoted to writing a thesis or completing a directed work. An international stream in political communication includes an exchange term at the Universite libre de Bruxelles. Full-time students complete the program within six terms; part-time students within nine terms. Admission requires a bachelor's degree, a curriculum vitae, a departmental admission form, two letters of appreciation from professors or employers, a motivation letter, a 300-word critical reflection on a communication issue, and a roughly 1,000-word research project outline. The program is delivered on campus in Montreal and admits students in the Fall and Winter terms.
