Mount Royal - Montreal

Hello! I have been accepted last week in the Master of Arts in Political Science at McGill University but I applied to two different options, the Development Studies Option and the European Studies Option. At the moment, I have no information concerning my chances of being accepted in these options. Anyone has some information about the admission process in these concentrations? How does it work? How competitive is it? I have also been accepted in the Master of Arts in Political Science at University of British Columbia and in the Maîtrise en science politique at Université de Montréal but I am likely to refuse those offers as McGill University is my top choice for the moment. I am only waiting for Sciences Po Paris now. Thank you for your help and good luck to all of you!

I am also a student at Université de Montréal! I am currently finishing my Bachelor in International Studies there. I am interested by the Maîtrise en Science Politique - Affaires Publiques et Internationales with the internship track, so not directly under the supervision of a specific professor. In fact, I know that the department, the courses, and the professors are great but it is not my first choice as I did my Bachelor there. I would like to discover something else and do my studies in an English-speaking institution. But I will see what I do depending on the offer I have of course! Yes, I would be more interested by international relations, but I am also interested by the options I applied for at McGill University (European Studies Option and Development Studies Option). They seem really interesting and maybe they can offer more opportunities as they focus more on a specific issue. Yet, I realized that I maybe did a wrong choice, as it is not really coherent to apply to two different options like this. Otherwise, UBC seems great but the programme is kind of short in my opinion so I'm still hesitating. Another question: How difficult it is to enter the labour market and find a job related to the degree with a master that does not include an internship but just research (such as the Master of Arts in political science offered by UBC and McGill University)?

Thanks for your answer! I saw on the McGill website FAQ: "When should I expect to hear from McGill? The department aims to contact PhD applicants no later than mid-March and MA applicants no later than mid-April. Applicants may always check the status of their applications on Minerva." As they gave the decisions for PhD on February 19 (according to this website), the next step for masters decision is probably soon! Otherwise, I have some questions: - What do you think about Université de Montréal and its political science programmes? It seems to me that it is a good university in terms of world rankings but nobody is talking about this university. Is it because of the language? - According to you, what are the main differences between the MA in political science at UBC and the MA in political science at McGill University (except the length)? Thank you!
