Detailed Information of MA/MEd in Indigenous Language Revitalization in Canada at University of Victoria

These are the international student eligibility for the MA/MEd in Indigenous Language Revitalization in Canada

Completion of a 4-year bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) from an institution recognized by Uvic. Equivalent of a minimum “B” average over the last two years of your degree.

The application to the Master of Arts degree requires the agreement of a regular faculty member to supervise the student before entry to the program. Students should indicate their interest in the Master of Arts program in the Statement of Intent and also explain their thesis study intentions. Applicants must submit two letters of reference (the same two letters required for admission to Faculty of Graduate Studies), provided by two referees who can be a professional colleague, professor or other academic authority, or an Indigenous Language Authority.

Applicants must submit a statement of intent describing their interest in the program and how they plan to use the program to promote community development in Indigenous language and culture revitalization.

First priority will go to applicants who are proficient/literate or semi-proficient/literate in any Indigenous language.

Exceptional Entry Exceptional entry is available to applicants to the graduate programs who have extensive expertise in the language and culture of their respective communities and have shown significant leadership in language and culture revitalization projects but do not hold a baccalaureate degree. Exceptional entry applications must provide a profile or CV and portfolio indicating previous education (certificates and diplomas), related professional experience, and training, an additional letter of reference attesting to the applicant’s level of fluency from an Indigenous Language Authority, as well as the regular application requirements to Graduate Studies. The evidence provided in the form of a profile and portfolio will be holistically considered, weighing the sum total of all previous education and experience for preparedness and suitability for the program. Guidelines for profile and portfolio will be included in the application materials as well as posted on the Indigenous Education website. For further assistance with this requirement please contact the Indigenous Graduate Adviser. Applicants in this category are encouraged to begin preparation of the portfolio well in advance of the application and documentation deadlines in order to receive feedback and assistance in its preparation and submission for consideration by the Program Admissions Committee.
