MA/MS in Maîtrise en travail social

This is a 45-credit second-cycle program leading to a Maîtrise en travail social (Master of Social Work) at Université du Québec à Chicoutimi. It is aimed at practising social workers and is designed to combine professional practice with research training, with students completing either a supervised internship (stage) or a research thesis (mémoire). Two admission routes exist: candidates holding a bachelor's degree in social work or a related field, and candidates from unrelated fields who also hold a second-cycle diploma or bring at least two years of relevant research experience; a qualifying year and a selection interview may be required. Courses are delivered in person at the Saguenay campus, with intakes in the fall and winter terms. The curriculum develops advanced clinical, analytical and research competencies, preparing graduates to critically examine intervention methods and to contribute to knowledge development in social work. It suits practising social workers seeking a research-oriented graduate credential that deepens both practice and analytical skills.
