      The School of International Development and Global Studies (SIDGS) offers interdisciplinary programs leading to a Master of Arts (MA) in International Development and Globalization and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in International Development.

      The master’s program is offered in collaboration with the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Law (common law and civil law), and the Faculty of Social Sciences and includes a co-op option.

      The SIDGS offers an interdisciplinary MA program that exposes students to a broad range of development theory, policy and practice, while also permitting specialization in one of four fields: Conflict, Transitions and Peace; Growth, Private Sector and Social Inclusion; Livelihoods, Resources and Sustainability; and Social Movements, Equity and Human Rights. Students have opportunities for hands-on practice through Co-op and international internships, as well as for networking with development policymakers and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the federal capital.

      The core courses of the program are offered each year in both English and French. The elective courses may be offered in either language; students are advised to check with the academic unit offering the course.

      The Department offers a Concentration in Development Practice.

      The Department offers a collaborative program in Women’s Studies (at the MA level).

      Language Training

      Any of the program option available in the Masters of Globalization and International Development may be combined with one of two language training possibilities. Students may apply to enroll in the French Immersion. Alternatively, students in both the English or French streams of the MA program may opt for the “plus” program, which adds second-language training in French or English to program requirements.

      The programs are governed by the academic regulations in effect for graduate studies.

      For the most accurate and up to date information on application deadlines, language tests and other admission requirements, please visit the specific requirements webpage.

      To be considered for direct admission, candidates must hold:

       1. An honour’s bachelor’s degree in international development and globalization or a related field (e.g., international studies and modern languages, environmental studies, religious studies, economics, geography, history, sociology, political science).
          OR
       2. An undergraduate law degree (LLB/LLL or equivalent).

      An overall undergraduate average of 75% (B+) (calculated in accordance with graduate studies guidelines) is required.

      A letter of intent outlining the candidate’s interest in the program and relevant academic and practical experience must be submitted along with the application. Candidates should also indicate their preferred field (among four defined by the program).

      Candidates who meet the basic admission requirements but who need to complete prerequisites for graduate courses or who need essential background knowledge in one or more fields may be admitted to a qualifying program.

      Co-op Program

      The School of International Development and Global Studies offers a co-op stream to a limited number of students who will request this option in their admission file. The co-op option gives selected students the opportunity to acquire practical work experience.

      French Immersion Stream

      Admission to the program via the French Immersion will be conditional on successfully attaining the standard set by the School in the “DVM Immersion Entry Test.” The DVM Immersion Entry Test will be administered by the testing service of OLBI (Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute), and must be written as part of the application process to the MA in Globalization and International Development. To be admitted to the French Immersion, the student must demonstrate an advanced intermediate level of proficiency in French, sufficient to enroll in FLS 3000-level courses.

      Language Requirements

      Candidates must be able to understand, speak and write either English or French fluently. Applicants whose mother tongue is neither English nor French are required, at the time of application, to provide evidence of proficiency in one of these languages. Proof of having achieved a score of at least 280 in the computer-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or in an equivalent test must be provided. For French proficiency, proof of having achieved a CanTEST score of 5.0 in Listening, in Reading, and in Writing must be provided.

      In accordance with University of Ottawa regulations, examinations, assignments and the research paper or thesis may be written in either one of the two official languages (English or French).

      Mentoring System

      Applications are reviewed by the program admissions committee. The committee assigns each student a professor who acts as a mentor and assists in developing an individualized study plan that takes account of interdisciplinary requirements and of the student’s needs, interests, and preferred field.

      Lecture Series

      All students are required, during the first year, to attend a lecture series where faculty and students from participating academic units, from other academic units or from outside organizations address important themes in International Development and Globalization.

      The program has four fields:

        * Economic Growth, Private Sector and Social Inclusion
        * Livelihoods, Resources and Sustainability
        * Conflict, Transitions and Peace
        * Social Movements, Equity and Human Rights

      This program also has a co-op option (see below).

      A maximum of 9 course units per term is allowed.

      Requirements for this program have been modified. Please consult the 2025-2026 calendars for the previous requirements.

          Co-op Option

          In the Thesis option, Co-op students must enroll full-time and complete two work terms: FSS 6001 and FSS 6002.

          In the course-based option, Co-op student must enroll full-time and complete at least one work term: FSS 6001.

          Each work terms is graded P/F (pass/fail), based on the employer’s report and on the written report completed by the student. (The report must be 30 pages, including appendices.) The report is evaluated by the professor in charge of the graduate co-op option in DVM.

          The units awarded for co-op work terms may not be used to obtain equivalences for other courses. In other words, the co-op units are additional to the minimum requirements of the degree.

          To remain in the co-op option, students must:

            * Be enrolled full-time.
            * Maintain a 7.0 cumulative grade point average.
            * Obtain a satisfactory grade (P) for each co-op work term.

          Concentration in Development Practice

          The Concentration in Development Practice can be combined with the Coursework, and thesis options, and when successfully completed, is recognized on the student’s official transcript.

          The Concentration in Development Practice requires the fulfillment of the general requirements of the M.A. in International Development and Globalization. Within the total number of course units required by the MRP and coursework options of the M.A. program in International Development and Globalization, or with the addition of three course units (one course) to the thesis option a Concentration in Development Practice will be recognized on the student’s transcript when the student applies for recognition of the concentration and the following courses are successfully completed.

A candidate who fails the test will have to successfully complete a course at the Official Language and Bilingualism Institute (OLBI) approved by the program.

            French Immersion

            The French Immersion can be combined with any other program option or concentration in the Masters of Globalization and International Development, and when successfully completed, is recognized on the student’s official transcript. The French Immersion is additional to the general requirements of the M.A. in Globalization and International Development. Students in the French Immersion will be required to take a minimum of 12 compulsory course units in French, including DVM 5500; DVM 5501, within the general MA program requirements. In addition to the general requirements, students registered in the French Immersion will successfully complete 5 FLS language courses, including FLS3500 during their studies.

            A student who demonstrates competency in French on the “Graduate Immersion Entrance Test” that exceeds the level expected upon completion of FLS4000-level courses can register in the French Immersion, but will be exempted from the requirement to take all FLS courses except FLS3500, as long as the student completes the four core program courses in French.

            “Plus” Language Training Option

            The “plus English” or “plus French” can be combined with any other program option or concentration in the Masters of Globalization and International Development, and when successfully completed, is recognized on the student’s official transcript. The French Immersion is additional to the general requirements of the M.A. in Globalization and International Development. Students in the “plus” option will be required to take a minimum of 5 FLS language courses, including FLS3500, during their studies.

            Duration of the Program

            In the Thesis and MRP options, students are expected to fulfill all requirements within two years. In the Coursework option, students are expected to fulfill all requirements within 12 months. The maximum time permitted is four years from the date of initial enrollment in the program. The Graduate French Immersion option could potentially add one semester to the length of the course option.
