The School of Political Studies provides advanced degree options including a Graduate Diploma in Public Management and Governance, along with MA and PhD programs in Political Science. The MA can be pursued either full-time or part-time, while the PhD is exclusively full-time. Courses are available in both French and English.
Students may submit their work in either language. Upon enrollment, candidates must demonstrate fluency in French and reading comprehension in English. French serves as the primary language for departmental meetings, graduate association activities, and internal correspondence.
The school also contributes to joint programs in Women's Studies (MA level) and Canadian Studies (PhD level).

Qualification Requirements
To be admitted to the PhD program, candidates must hold a master's degree in political science (or the equivalent) with a minimum average of 75% (B+) calculated in accordance with graduate studies guidelines. Exceptional students in the master's program at the University of Ottawa may, under certain conditions (see Transfer from master's to PhD), be allowed to transfer to the PhD without being required to write a master's thesis.
An active knowledge of French and English is essential. All students admitted will have to take at least one of their courses in French and must be capable of reading texts in English and French. Students must indicate in their application the language in which they plan to take the majority of their courses. Those students who plan to study mainly in English will have to demonstrate in their application an active knowledge of English and French. All students whose first language is other than English or French must provide proof in their application of their level of competence in both languages. The School of Political Studies reserves the right to require a language test for either language.
