This 30-credit Diplôme d'études supérieures spécialisées (DESS) in Indigenous narratives and media examines Indigenous storytelling and media production, including oral narratives, political discourse, theatre, performance, poetry, film, and literature, through an interdisciplinary, decolonization-focused lens. Students complete one of three distinct streams: an internship in an Indigenous artistic setting, practical work, or a creative project, alongside theoretical coursework, and no thesis is required. The programme is delivered on the Montreal campus, part-time, with daytime classes; the minimum full-time duration is two semesters, with a maximum of four years from initial enrolment. Admission requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent, with specific prerequisites varying by the jurisdiction of prior study, plus a letter of intent or motivation and a curriculum vitae. Graduates work in museums, festivals, publishing, production companies, education, and Indigenous or government institutions. The programme is currently under revision and admission is suspended.
