Representing Canada's dual-language and three-part legal framework (civil law, common law, and Indigenous law), while situated in the nation's capital, the Faculty of Law provides advanced degree programs culminating in either a Master's or Doctorate in Law.
These postgraduate legal studies represent a collaborative effort between the Common Law and Civil Law departments. We accept graduates from both legal traditions and international jurisdictions. Instruction occurs in English or French, with some bilingual offerings. Students can easily pursue their advanced degrees while gaining exposure to Canada's diverse legal systems and language practices.
Programs are available in English and French, occasionally blending both languages. Following University of Ottawa guidelines, students may submit exams, coursework, and research papers or theses in either official language. All programs adhere to the standard graduate studies regulations.
