Students with a master's containing a translation component but which is not equivalent to a master's in translation studies may be considered for admission at the master's level, with the possibility of transferring into the doctoral program after four courses, if they obtain an average of A- (80%).

Students enrolled in the master's program in Translation Studies at the University of Ottawa who have obtained excellent results may exceptionally be admitted into the doctoral program without a master's thesis. Please note that the minimal admission average requirements for the doctoral program must also be met. To take advantage of this option, they must: a) obtain A- average in six master's courses, and b) submit a major research paper of about 30 pages (TRA 7998). A committee will evaluate the research potential of the paper. Admission will be dependent on the availability of a thesis supervisor in the applicant's area of research interest.
