Students in Dalhousie's Master of Arts program are highly competitive candidates for places in top PhD programs across Canada and internationally. Many have been awarded major fellowships in support of their doctoral studies throughout North America. Other have gone on to careers in law, publishing, communications, journalism, and education.
Dalhousie’s program
is one of the few in Canada that requires students to write
a 10,000-12,000 word thesis with a thesis supervisor.
Though relatively short, the thesis allows your to
pursue personal research interests and develop your
research profile. All MA students are given the opportunity
to work as Teaching Assistants in the Department. You will develop skills and experience in teaching, writing,
research, communications, and inter-professional
collaboration, which are assets on the job market and
essential for professional degrees and competitive PhD programs.
The MA in English is designed to be completed in one
calendar year (September to August) and the majority of our students receive scholarship funding and a teaching assistant position. Part-time MA students complete the degree over three years and are eligible to apply for teaching assistant positions.
