MA/MS in Théâtre

The Master of Arts in Theatre (Théâtre) at Université du Québec à Montréal combines theatrical practice with theory, accepting both practitioners and theorists. It totals 45 credits: 15 in coursework, comprising four mandatory courses and one elective, and 30 for thesis supervision and completion. Students pursue either a theoretical research thesis or an experimental creative project accompanied by a written reflection, fostering integration of practice and theory throughout. The programme is completed over a nominal two years full-time (four years part-time), with admission in the fall term only, and courses offered during the day, evening, and weekend. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in theatre, drama, or teaching, completed with a cumulative average of at least 3.2 on a 4.3 scale (75%); applicants averaging 2.8 to 3.2 may be considered. Candidates without a formal theatre degree may also be admitted based on relevant experience and knowledge of theatre. Confirmed mastery of spoken and written French is required.
