• become proficient in the production of original scholarly publications and in the communication of complex ideas and conclusions.

The University of Ottawa’s Collaborative Program in Environmental Sustainability is a program that will allow students doing their master’s in the participating programs (for example, Biology and Geography) to specialize in environmental sustainability. The program will have two options – a thesis option and, where applicable, a major research paper – and will lead to the awarding of the designation of “Specialization in Environmental Sustainability.”

The guiding objective of the Collaborative Program is to help train the next generation of leaders and professionals with the skills and abilities needed to address environmental problems, and to identify and analyze the interconnections among environmental issues and the various disciplines.

Le diplôme d’études supérieures en gestion de la performance organisationnelle est conçu à partir de cours visant à comprendre les bases de la gestion axée sur la performance organisationnelle et comment l’améliorer par une prise de décision basée sur l’information (gestion stratégique et performance, gestion de la performance, statistique appliquée au monde des affaires, gestion des opérations, comptabilité financière, comptabilité de gestion, marketing, et gestion de la performance avancée).

The diploma in Organizational Performance Management offers courses that lead to an understanding of the foundations of organizational performance and how to improve it, based on information-driven decision-making  (strategic management and performance, performance management, statistics applied to the business world, operations management, financial accounting, management accounting, marketing and advance performance management).

Le diplôme d’études supérieures en Leadership et gestion est composé de cours visant à permettre à l’étudiant de comprendre l’importance stratégique de la gestion des ressources humaines et à développer ses habiletés de gestion et son leadership dans le but d’améliorer la performance d’une organisation (gestion stratégique et performance, gestion de la performance, habiletés de gestion, leadership, gestion des ressources humaines, gestion de projet, séminaire mobilisateur, gestion du changement, et développement de carrière).

The diploma in Leadership and Management allows students to develop their understanding of the strategic importance of human resource management as well as their management skills and leadership abilities, to improve performance within the organization (strategic management and performance, performance management, management skills, leadership, human resource management, project management, mobilizing seminar, change management and career development).

The program will focus on several critical issues in the field, including methodological and technological innovations in adult second-language instruction, assessment of adult second-language  competence, as well as language policy and planning. It will also provide the students with advanced research skills achieved through a specialized research methodology course, writing extensive research papers and, where applicable, conducting thesis-related research. Both program options (MA with Thesis and MA with Major Research Paper/Mémoire) are research degrees and will prepare the students to pursue further graduate studies at the PhD level in Applied Linguistics. These options will also prepare students for related career opportunities in local, national and international organizations.

The MSc in Environmental Sustainability / MSc en durabilité de l’environnement is an interdisciplinary degree aimed at training future professionals and scholars who are able to apply knowledge from science, economics, law and policy to develop effective solutions to today’s complex, multi-dimensional environmental problems. The program has two options: one with a thesis, and the other with a research paper.

This program will be an attractive option for students who hold undergraduate degrees in environmental sciences, environmental studies, economics, political science and related fields and who are interested in a career in environmental policy or environmental management. It will also be of interest to persons working in government, the private sector or civil society who wish to develop or deepen their capacity for integrative problem-solving in relation to issues of environmental sustainability.

Le Baccalauréat en conception multidisciplinaire – apprentissage expérientiel de l’Université d’Ottawa est un programme d’une durée de 3 ans offert par la Faculté de génie, qui valorise le choix des étudiants, l’apprentissage multidisciplinaire, les compétences numériques et d’analyse des données, le développement des compétences professionnelles, et l’impact sur le plan mondial. Le programme est conçu pour former des étudiants en combinant des sous-ensembles de connaissances et compétences en ingénierie avec d’autres domaines d’études. Le programme renforce l’apprentissage en classe par le biais de stages et d’autres expériences acquises en dehors de la classe. Les étudiants développent également des compétences en leadership par l’entremise d’un modèle de mentorat intégré.

Le programme est destiné aux étudiants qui n’envisagent peut-être pas encore, ou n’ont pas facilement accès aux thèmes reliés à l’ingénierie dans le cadre de leur cheminement scolaire, offrant des opportunités à un ensemble diversifié d’étudiants. Des programmes de transition aident à réduire les barrières à l’entrée, tandis que le programme d’études inclusif permet aux étudiants de se développer grâce à des opportunités pertinentes du point de vue social et environnemental. Pour éveiller chez les étudiants une compréhension des exigences mondiales pressantes reliées à l’ingénierie, les objectifs de développement durable des Nations Unies sont intégrés aux activités d’apprentissage, aux projets et aux cours.

Alors que les employeurs recherchent des professionnels rompus aux connaissances multidisciplinaires, les parcours d’apprentissage plus courts et plus flexibles offerts par le programme fournissent aux étudiants une occasion unique de développer des compétences adaptées aux demandes actuelles du marché et aux besoins futurs de la société. Les étudiants obtiennent leur diplôme avec des sous-ensembles spécifiques de connaissances et compétences traditionnelles en ingénierie et une orientation multidisciplinaire d’envergure.

The University of Ottawa Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Design – Experiential Learning is a 3-year program in the Faculty of Engineering, emphasizing student choice, multidisciplinary learning, digital/data fluency, professional skills development and impact on a global scale. The program trains students who are seeking to combine subsets of engineering knowledge and skills with other fields of study. Learning in the classroom is reinforced through internships and other experiences gained outside the classroom. Students also develop leadership skills via an integrated mentorship model.

The program is intended for students who may not yet consider, or have easy access to, engineering topics in their educational path, thereby providing opportunities for a diverse set of students. Bridging programs help lower the barriers to entry, while the inclusive curriculum provides socially and environmentally relevant opportunities for students to grow. To develop students’ understanding of pressing global requirements for engaged engineering practice, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are integrated into learning activities, projects, and courses.

As industry seeks out technologically adept employees with multidisciplinary knowledge, the shorter and more flexible learning paths offered by the program provide students with a unique opportunity to develop skills attuned to current market demands and future societal needs. Students graduate with specific subsets of traditional engineering knowledge and skills and an expansive multidisciplinary focus.
