We offer two Masters in Information Studies:  

  • the master's degree in information sciences (professional course, with internship without dissertation) 
  • the master's degree in information sciences - Research (with dissertation without internship)

The master's degrees are intended for anyone with a North American bachelor's degree or its equivalent ( 1st  university cycle of at least three years to be validated) in any discipline and who wishes to complete it with strong skills in management of information. MSI graduates therefore have a dual competence: that of their original discipline and that acquired in information sciences.


The professional master's degree in information sciences aims to train information professionals capable of identifying, acquiring, preserving, organizing, managing and disseminating any form of recorded information for the benefit of users of all types of documentary mediums.

Good basic computer skills are required to successfully complete the program (including the basic functions of office software and web browsers, as well as common operating system functions and concepts such as compressing or downloading files and folder tree). Admitted students will be required to pass a computer test upon entering the program. A retake will be possible later and in case of failure, and measures will be offered to students to enable them to reach the required level of competence. Passing this test is necessary to continue the program and, more specifically, to enroll in the SCI6005 course.
