This doctorate in educational psychology (psychopédagogie) examines teaching and learning processes across a range of educational settings, including teacher training, school motivation, classroom management, professional development, and physical education. Students develop theoretical models, intervention tools, and pedagogical practices grounded in original research. The 90-credit program is completed full-time over an estimated four years and combines advanced coursework with a doctoral research project culminating in a thesis. Courses are largely scheduled in the evenings or offered at a distance to accommodate working professionals. Admission requires a master's degree in education sciences or in a related field of study and research. Applicants must be fluent in written and spoken French; non-francophone applicants must score at least 400 out of 699 on the mandatory TCF sections and at least 10 out of 20 on the written expression component.
