Program details

Overview

This Maitre en sciences geographiques (M.Sc. geogr.) is a 45-credit, thesis-based program with an estimated full-time length of two years, covering concepts and methods for understanding the Earth's living and non-living systems. Students complete coursework, conduct supervised research, and write a thesis. A research supervisor must be secured before admission by contacting one of the program's professors. Some courses are offered at a distance, in hybrid, or in comodal format, though the program itself must be pursued full-time. Admission is offered in the fall, winter, and summer terms. French proficiency is strongly recommended, and applicants need enough English to read and understand relevant texts. The program prepares graduates for doctoral studies or research careers in physical or human geography, and for applied research roles that draw on the program's grounding in Earth systems analysis.
