Le programme de maîtrise

Présentation

D’une durée d’un an, le programme de maîtrise en études françaises comporte trois options qui permettent d’adapter vos études à vos besoins. Nous offrons ainsi une maîtrise obtenue en suivant des séminaires, une maîtrise avec mémoire et une maîtrise avec thèse. Les étudiant.e.s sont invité.e.s à choisir ce parcours durant leur premier trimestre. Il est possible de commencer vos études à deux moments différents dans l’année (en septembre ou en janvier) et de vous inscrire à temps plein ou à temps partiel. L’Université de Waterloo offre un programme très intéressant de bourses et d’emplois d’assistant.e.s, dans les domaines de l’enseignement et de la recherche, pour subventionner nos étudiant.e.s et leur permettre d’acquérir de l’expérience !

Vous trouverez plus bas la description détaillée de chaque parcours, telle qu’on la retrouve dans le Graduate Studies Academic Calendar de l’Université de Waterloo.  </span>
