Once students are admitted to the program, their progress will be monitored by a director of studies assigned by the program.
Collaborative Program in Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the Master's Level
The Department of Spanish is a participating unit in the collaborative program in Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the Master's level. This program has been established for students wishing to enrich their training in Spanish by including an interdisciplinary component in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. The specific requirements of the collaborative program include two core courses in medieval studies and a thesis on a topic related to Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
Students should normally apply for acceptance in the Medieval and Renaissance Studies collaborative program at the same time as they apply for admission to the Master's program in Spanish.
For further details, please consult the Medieval and Renaissance Studies program on the FGPS website.
All students begin by enrolling in the MA with research paper. Students may apply for admission into the other option at the end of their first session or at the beginning of their second session. For details concerning the procedures to be followed when submitting a thesis topic, please consult the director of graduate studies.
Master's Degree with Thesis OptionSuccessful completion of ESP5901 or ESP5902.Successful completion of 9 credits at the 5000 level or above*.Presentation and defense of a thesis (ESP7999) based on original research carried out under the direct supervision of a faculty member. The thesis should be between 80 and 120 pages in length.*Students enrolled in the MA option with thesis are encouraged to take two courses in the field from which their thesis topic is selected. The remaining courses may be taken in any other area covered by the program.
NOTE: A student can choose to write the thesis in English, French or Spanish. When registering for the thesis, the student must notify the director of graduate studies, in writing, of the language chosen. This choice will be subject to departmental approval. A student who receives permission to write the thesis in Spanish will be expected to be able to defend it in English or in French.
Master's Degree with Research PaperSuccessful completion of ESP5901 or ESP5902.Successful completion of 15 credits at the 5000 level or above*.Successful completion of a research paper (ESP7997).*Students enrolled in the MA with research paper option are strongly encouraged to take courses in all areas covered by the program.
NOTE: The research paper will be evaluated by both the supervisor and a second reader.
Collaborative Program in Medieval and Renaissance StudiesStudents 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."The passing grade in all courses is C+. Students who fail two courses (equivalent to 6 credits) must withdraw from the program.Duration of the ProgramStudents are expected to complete all requirements within two years. The thesis must be submitted within four years of the date of initial registration in the program.
