      Please note that admission to the Doctorate in Philosophy Translation Studies is suspended until further notice.

      The School of Translation and Interpretation (STI) offers graduate programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts in Translation Studies (MA), Master in Conference Interpreting (MCI) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Translation Studies.

      Doctoral Program

      The primary objective of the doctoral program in translation studies is to produce qualified scholars in the field for academic teaching and research.

      The doctoral program will focus on:

        * Theories, history and pedagogy of translation as inter-lingual and intercultural communication.
        * Lexicology, terminology, and technologies as applied to translation.

      Since translation is interdisciplinary, the doctoral program may collaborate with disciplines in other units such as Law, English, Canadian Studies, French, Modern Languages and Literatures, Linguistics, Philosophy, as well as the School of Information Technology and Engineering (SITE). However, the administration of the program is the sole responsibility of the School of Translation and Interpretation.

      This full-time program consists of four courses, a comprehensive exam, and a thesis.

      Languages

      Most seminars are bilingual, that is, they may be conducted in French or English. The student's research may be conducted not only on French and English, but also on a third language, subject to the conditions stipulated under "Additional 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.

        * Written recommendation for transfer from the supervisor of the paper and from the Graduate Studies Committee.

      The transfer must take place within sixteen months of initial enrollment in the master’s. Students permitted to transfer will complete a total of 8 courses (24 units), 6 courses while enrolled in the master’s and 2 while enrolled in the PhD. Following transfer, the following requirements must be met: 2 courses (6 units), the comprehensive exam, the thesis proposal and the thesis.
