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 is available for both full-time and part-time students, while the PhD is exclusively full-time. Instruction is bilingual, offered 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 departmental meetings, graduate association activities, and internal communications.
The department collaborates with interdisciplinary programs in Feminist and Gender Studies (MA level) and Canadian Studies (PhD level). Additional details can be found under "Admission Requirements."
The master's-level Feminist and Gender Studies collaborative program caters to students from various fields including arts, education, health sciences, law, social sciences, and counseling (through Saint Paul University) who wish to incorporate gender perspectives into their primary discipline. Participants earn their master's degree in their main field with an added "specialization in Feminist and Gender Studies."

Qualification Requirements
The following are minimum requirements for admission to the master’s program. Meeting these minimal requirements alone does not guarantee acceptance. The School of Political Studies also takes into account the number of places available and the student’s aptitude for higher level research.
Students who have a BA with honours in Political Science or its equivalent with a minimum average of 70 % (B), calculated in accordance with graduate studies guidelines, may be admitted directly to the MA program.
Students who do not have a BA with honours in Political Science, but who have a BA with a minor in Political Science or a BA in a related discipline, and a minimum average of 75% (B +), may be accepted for a qualifying year, the content of which will be decided in consultation with the director of graduate studies in the political science.
An active knowledge of French or English is essential. All students admitted will have to take at least one of their courses in French, and all students must be capable of reading texts in English and French. Candidates 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.
