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.
The department participates in a collaborative program in Canadian Studies at the PhD level.

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.
