The Master of Education is a part-time study program. The master’s program in education at the Université de Saint-Boniface (USB) allows you to consolidate your theoretical and practical knowledge and to carry out research in one of the following four areas: school counselling; inclusive education; school administration; and language, literacy and curriculum.
The master’s in special education in school counseling aims to train effective counselors concerned with developing their skills on an ongoing basis and keeping up with current trends in this field.
The person registered in this program consolidates his theoretical and practical knowledge of counseling by studying the philosophy and the theories that underlie it and by learning the techniques of individual and group counselling, which includes the skills of communication and animation of groups. She also studies the principles, methods and techniques of interviewing children, adolescents and adults and deepens her knowledge of professional counseling with respect to the various programs and techniques related to it (information on careers, job search methods, etc.). Finally, she familiarizes herself with research methods and statistical analysis in the educational context with an emphasis on the application of research results.
A student guide has been developed to provide a summary of University of Manitoba Faculty of Graduate Studies policies and procedures as well as regulations that are unique to USB. It is important to be aware of it. It should be noted, however, that this guide is incomplete in itself and must be read in conjunction with the documents from the Faculty of Graduate Studies mentioned above. Students are responsible for ensuring that they meet all the requirements of their program for obtaining the master’s degree in education.

tutoring center
It should be noted that admission to the master’s in education entitles you to take advantage of the tutoring service offered by the SPL to review work required as part of its courses for a preferential hourly rate of $20. You are entitled to a maximum of ten hours of tutoring per session. This service is only available for the duration of the program courses. The SPL will issue an invoice no later than the end of each session. The SPL also offers master’s students an after-school proofreading service (comprehensive exam and thesis) at a preferential hourly rate of $40. This service includes proofreading and, if necessary, meetings to discuss the proposed corrections. The SPL will issue an invoice to the student after completing the proofreading.
education language
The language of instruction and communication at USB is French. Anyone admitted to USB must have a level of language proficiency that allows them to understand the teaching, write the work and participate in the discussions in French. All the work required in the courses as well as the final work (dissertation or comprehensive exam) must be written in French. However, an understanding of written English is essential, as one must not only understand the regulations of the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Manitoba, but also read in English on a regular basis as part of the course. That said, international students admitted to the master’s program in education at USB are not required to demonstrate their knowledge of English in a formal way.
Complete the program no later than six years after the date of admission.
Regardless of the evaluation methods used in the context of a course or an educational activity, a mark is assigned to each student who is registered in it.
