At Université du Québec à Chicoutimi in Saguenay, Canada, MA/MS in Project Management is offered as a master's degree in Project Management programme. The programme is delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 820 per credit (CAD 104 per credit for local students).
This Master's in Project Management at Université du Québec à Chicoutimi trains managers to lead projects, programs, and portfolios with a strategic perspective, covering the project lifecycle from initial conception through operations, risk and stakeholder management in complex initiatives, portfolio governance, and team leadership within project-based organizations. The program is delivered in person on the Saguenay campus and offers two pathways: a regular track built from mandatory courses and electives, and a specialized track that adds a set of concentration courses; both are coursework-based, with optional practical internships and no thesis requirement. Admission takes place in the fall term, and the program is open to full-time or part-time study, including international applicants studying full-time. It suits professionals seeking to build formal project management expertise, typically those who already hold significant professional experience in project management or general management roles.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.20 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Regular entry requires a bachelor's degree with a minimum cumulative average of 3.2/4.3; candidates averaging 2.8-3.2 may be considered after a full file review. Etudes-hors-Quebec applicants need an appropriate diploma obtained outside Quebec after at least 16 years of schooling with a minimum average of 13/20 (11-13/20 considered after full file review). A preparation-suffisante route admits candidates holding a relevant professional accreditation (PMI, IPMA, PRINCE2, etc.), at least seven years of project-management experience, or at least ten years of management experience. Non-native French speakers must pass a French test recognised by UQAC within 24 months before the programme starts; the programme page does not publish the specific test scores required at this cycle. A strong recommendation, though not a stated requirement, asks that applicants have sufficient understanding of written English, since course material is in English.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens, permanent residents, protected persons and First Nations) apply directly to UQAC and, for non-quota programmes, may submit an admission application until the end of the course-registration period for the winter, summer or fall term, making admission effectively rolling; contingented (limited-enrollment) programmes instead hold applications to a per-programme deadline before reviewing them together. International applicants face fixed, earlier windows: for the 2025-2026 cycle the fall 2026 term ran from 2 September 2025 to 1 March 2026, while winter and summer 2026 closed on 1 August 2025 and 12 December 2025 respectively; as of September 2026 UQAC has not yet published the equivalent winter, summer or fall 2027 international dates. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
