Students who wish to enroll in the collaborative program in Medieval and Renaissance Studies must first be admitted to a master’s program in one of the participating units. Candidates must hold an honours degree or the equivalent. They must have an excellent knowledge of either English or French, and a passive understanding of the other language.
Students must apply to the collaborative program at the same time as they apply to the master’s program in the participating unit.
Language Requirements
The courses offered by the collaborative program in Medieval and Renaissance Studies are offered in English, in French, and in a bilingual format. An excellent knowledge of English or French and a passive understanding of the other language are required. Each academic unit maintains its own language requirements. Except in the case of students in the departments of English and Français, all students have the right to submit assignments, the major research paper, or the thesis, and to answer examination questions in the official language of their choice.
Students in the program must complete the requirements of their primary program and those of the collaborative program. One of the two 3-credit courses in medieval and Renaissance Studies (MDV5100 or MDV5500) will be counted towards the requirements of the primary program. Consequently, students in the specialization will have only one extra course to take.
The requirements of the collaborative program are as follows:
Two compulsory courses:MDV5100 Medieval and Renaissance Studies Research Methods and Tools (3cr.)OR
MDV5500 Méthodes et outils de recherche des études médiévales et de la Renaissance (3cr.)AND
MDV5900 Séminaire de recherche interdisciplinaire / Interdisciplinary Research Seminar (3cr.)Students must complete the two compulsory courses before they register to the major research paper or thesis.
A thesis or major research paper on a topic related to medieval and Renaissance studies; the proposed topic must be approved by the program committee of the participating unit and the committee of the collaborative program. The supervision of the major research paper or thesis must be carried out by a professor approved by the collaborative program committee. At least one of the two thesis examiners (or one examiner of the major research paper) must be a member of the collaborative program.In both cases, the title of the degree will indicate the discipline of the participating unit with the specification "specialization in Medieval and Renaissance Studies."Minimum StandardsThe passing grade in all courses is C+. Students who fail two courses (equivalent to 6 credits) must withdraw from the program.
