HIS9998 EXAMEN ORAL DU DOCTORAT / DOCTORAL ORAL EXAMINATION

HIS9999 THÈSE DE DOCTORAT / PhD THESIS

Students may prepare for a master’s degree in one of two ways:

The successful completion of 12 credits at the graduate level and the preparation and effective defence of a thesis (HIS 7999) before a board of at least two examiners, members of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, and presided over by the Chairperson of the Department or his representative. The master’s thesis should be between 125 and 150 pages in length.

The successful completion of 18 credits at the graduate level plus a research paper (HIS 6999). The research paper must receive the approval of the supervisor and a passing grade from the reader. The research paper should be about 50 pages in length.

Language
Students in both the master’s and doctoral programs must understand, speak and write either English or French fluently. In addition, students in both programs must demonstrate their reading competence in Canada’s other official language, French or English, at the earliest opportunity, by passing a language examination administered by the department in the fall or winter session. To this end, registration in HIS 5599 is compulsory.

Students who take a graduate course in history in the other language may be exempted from this examination, given a favourable report from the professor concerned.

Students working in a field of history where a language other than English or French is necessary may also be required to demonstrate their grasp of that language.
Residence
Students admitted on a full-time basis must register full-time for at least three sessions.

Students must have an honours BA in history (or the equivalent) with a minimum average of 70 per cent (B) before they can be considered for admission. The department may require a written or oral entrance examination.
Collaborative Program in Women’s Studies at the Master’s Level

The Department of History is a participating unit in the collaborative program in women’s studies at the master’s level. This program has been established for students wishing to enrich their training in history by including an interdisciplinary component in Women’s studies. The specific requirements of the collaborative program include two core courses and a thesis or major research paper on a topic related to Women’s studies. Only one of the core “FEM” courses will be counted for credit towards the requirements of the master’s with thesis option.

Students should normally apply for admission to the Women’s studies collaborative program at the same time as they apply for admission to the master’s program in history. For further details, please consult the Women’s Studies brochure of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.

The Department of History offers the degrees of Master of arts (with or without thesis) and doctor of philosophy in history. Within the limits imposed by the availability of qualified staff, students may pursue their studies in English or in French.

At the master’s level students undertake research in diverse areas corresponding to the expertise and interests of faculty members.

French immersion is available when taken as part of an honours degree offered by the Faculty of arts, the Faculty of Health Sciences, the Faculty of Social Sciences or the Telfer School of Management.
