Program details

Overview

The Master's in Comparative Canadian Literature (Maitrise en litterature canadienne comparee) is a 45-credit second-cycle, research-type programme at the Universite de Sherbrooke, leading to the Master of Arts, offered on the Sherbrooke campus. It deepens students' knowledge of the literatures of Canada and Quebec through two research streams: Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies, comparing cultural practices of Canada and Quebec, including Indigenous and diasporic works in French or English, with other national cultural practices; and Literary Translation and Translation Studies, examining the translation of Canadian and Quebec literatures and major currents and issues in translation studies while strengthening literary-translation skills. Applicants to the first stream need a first-cycle degree in English studies, French studies or comparative literature; applicants to the second need a first-cycle degree in translation, English studies or French studies.

Admission Requirements: Applicants to the Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies stream must hold a first-cycle degree in English studies, French studies (literary studies) or comparative literature, or equivalent; applicants to the Literary Translation and Translation Studies stream must hold a first-cycle degree in translation, English studies or French studies (literary studies), or equivalent. All applicants need a minimum cumulative average of 3.0 on a 4.3 scale or equivalent academic results, and must be able to read literary and academic texts in both English and French, understand both languages orally, and write and speak in at least one of them; translation-stream applicants also need strong bilingual translation competence.
