Program details

Overview

This 45-credit Master of Education (M.Ed.) prepares candidates to teach French at the secondary level. The program combines graduate coursework in didactics and pedagogy with a supervised practicum or teaching internship, emphasizing reflective practice and professional competency development specific to secondary French instruction. Admission is offered once a year, in the fall term, and study can be completed full-time in two years (five trimesters) or part-time in three years (eight trimesters). Courses are offered evenings during the week, delivered partly in person and partly at a distance. Before completing the degree, students must pass a written French test with a diagnostic component and an oral communication assessment during their first year. The program targets holders of a bachelor's degree with substantial coursework in a discipline related to their chosen teaching concentration who wish to gain the pedagogical training and professional certification required to teach French at the secondary level in Quebec.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.00 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) including at least 45 credits in a discipline closely related to the chosen teaching concentration.

Candidates must demonstrate French-language proficiency through the Epreuve uniforme de francais or an equivalent ministry or UQAM test, with exemptions for francophone university graduates or those who completed secondary education in French in Quebec. Admission is offered in the fall term only.
