Please note that the Master of Arts Translation Studies and Concentration Literary Translation 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.
Master’s Program
The master's program in Translation is intended to develop research capability in various fields of translation, as well as to provide advanced training in areas such as terminology, computerized translation or translation teaching. It is desirable that students have practical experience in translation before entering the program.
This program consists of compulsory and optional seminars and courses, followed by a basic or applied research requirement. It may be undertaken full-time or part-time.
Not all seminars and courses are offered every year. Students will be notified at enrollment of which ones are available during the current year.
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 general 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.
Applicants should have an honours BA in Translation, or an equivalent. Applicants who do not have an honours degree in Translation may in suitable cases be recommended by the STI for admission to a qualifying program. Such applicants are usually honours graduates in another subject field.
Note: Honours BA implies four years of university studies.
Admission Procedure
Applications for admission are reviewed by the Graduate Studies Committee of the School of Translation and Interpretation, and must also meet the general requirements in effect for graduate studies. In addition to completing our on-line application and paying the application fee to the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre, students must also assemble all relevant documentation and forward the complete application package to the director of the School of Translation and Interpretation. Applications will not be processed without the application fee and the complete file.
Entrance Examination
The STI may, at its discretion, require applicants to pass an entrance examination. The examination is compulsory for applicants to the qualifying program.
Qualifying Program
Those students whose first degree is not in Translation, and likewise, those who do not already have previous translating experience, or those whose knowledge of either English or French is inadequate, will be required to do a qualifying program of one or two terms according to their needs, to bring them up to the level expected of graduates with an honours BA in Translation. A minimum average mark of 70 per cent (B) is required for admission to the master's program proper.
Transfer from Master's to PhD
In exceptional circumstances, it is possible to transfer from the MA program at the School of Translation and Interpretation (STI) directly into the PhD program under the following conditions:
- Completion of the 3 mandatory MA courses, plus one more MA course, with a grade of A in each course;
- Completion of a 40-page research paper (TRA 7998) under the supervision of a professor who is the potential PhD thesis supervisor;
- 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 registration in the master’s. Students permitted to transfer will complete a total of 8 courses (24 units), 6 courses while registered in the master’s and 2 while registered in the PhD. Following transfer, the following requirements must be met: 2 courses (6 units), the comprehensive exam, the thesis proposal and the thesis.

Note(s)
- 1
Any two (2) other appropriate graduate courses in Translation Studies or from other graduate programs. For courses in other graduate programs, approval of the Director of graduate studies for the School of Translation and Interpretation are responsible for ensuring that they have any prerequisites.
MA students planning to write a thesis must enroll the subject of the thesis and the name of the professor who has agreed to supervise their work before they begin their third term of studies.
- The thesis can consist of a traditional research project, according to the rules established at the STI, or it can be a literary translation.
- If the thesis is a literary translation, it must reflect on the practice of literary translation, and consist of two parts which can take different forms; these two parts are of equal importance but need not be the same length:
- a literary translation of a text not previously published in translation: a collection of poetry, a collection of short stories, a novel, a play; a retranslation is possible, with special permission;
- a critical reflection on this translation, including but not limited to a discussion of translation theories, questions of aesthetics and stylistics, technical problems, questions of form and genre, etc.; this analysis must show solid theoretical understanding of translation and the specific issues raised by the text in question and include the necessary references to relevant secondary texts on literary translation, literary theory, etc.
- The thesis must satisfy the usual criteria: originality, adequate treatment of the subject, solid methodology, etc. The length of the thesis will vary according to the difficulty of the text and the methodological and theoretical issues encountered.
Duration of the Program
The topic of the thesis or applied research paper must be enrolled by the end of the second term of studies. All degree requirements must be completed within four years from the date of initial enrollment (not including any qualifying program).
- Full-time
Basic research and applied research options: three terms in residence, followed by a further period for completion of the research or applied research requirements, during which residence is not required. - Part-time
Basic research and applied research options: four consecutive terms (excluding the summer terms) for completion of the seminars, followed by a further period for completion of the research requirement.
Minimum Standards
The passing grade in all courses is C+. Students who fail two courses (equivalent to 6 units) must withdraw from the program.
