The School of Political Studies provides advanced degree programs culminating in a Graduate Diploma in Public Management and Governance, as well as Master of Arts (MA) and PhD degrees in Political Science. The MA program accommodates both full-time and part-time students, while the PhD program is exclusively full-time. Instruction is available in both French and English.
Students may submit coursework in either French or English. Upon enrollment, candidates must demonstrate fluency in French and reading comprehension in English. French serves as the primary language for School meetings, graduate association gatherings, and internal communications.
The University of Ottawa's exceptional position in the national capital, combined with its bilingual environment and academic strengths, enables it to provide a distinctive collaborative PhD specialization in Canadian Studies. This interdisciplinary program enhances doctoral candidates' disciplinary focus within humanities and social sciences through additional cross-disciplinary perspectives.

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. 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.
