Program details

Overview

The PhD in Education is a 90-credit doctoral programme offering advanced, interdisciplinary training in education research across multiple research traditions. Students design and carry out an original doctoral research project under the guidance of a thesis director, developing expertise in a chosen area of educational research. Most of the 90 credits are earned through directed research activities, culminating in a written doctoral thesis that is defended before an evaluation committee. The programme is delivered in person at the Saguenay campus and admits new students in the Fall term. It is intended for candidates holding a relevant master's degree who wish to pursue advanced research, university teaching, or leadership roles connected to the field of education, building on prior graduate study and, in some cases, professional experience in educational intervention.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.20 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a master's degree in education, or equivalent, with a cumulative average of at least 3.2 on 4.3, or a master's degree in a related field with the same average plus at least two years of experience in educational intervention. In exceptional cases, applicants with only a bachelor's degree may apply with the vice-rector's approval, provided they can demonstrate extraordinary scientific achievements. All applicants must submit an acceptable outline of their proposed research project and demonstrate sufficient spoken and written French, sufficient English, and adequate knowledge of the education field and relevant research methodology.
