This research-focused Master of Science (M.Sc.) programme in labour and employment sciences trains researchers and strategic-level professionals in industrial relations.

It is completed over an estimated two years of full-time study, with extension options through continuation courses. Some courses may be offered at a distance or in hybrid format, though most instruction takes place on campus in Quebec City. Admission is offered for the Fall term only.
