The Ph.D. Program in French Studies provides students with a contemporary and specialized education and allows them to acquire scientific expertise in the rich cultural field of French Studies. The Ph.D. program in French Studies allows exploring the linguistic and literary richness of a French tradition in constant revitalization through the perspective of various theoretical and methodological approaches, thus connecting the expected creativity and originality of a doctoral dissertation with the requirements of epistemological, technical, and deontological norms.

The PhD in French Language, Civilization and Culture (100% online and ONLY in French langauge) aims to enable students to acquire advanced training by deepening their knowledge of the French language and literature and their development over the centuries. Through the use of appropriate methodological tools and in-depth personal reflection, supported by a substantial literature review, the results of their study will be able to contribute to the advancement of knowledge on the subject.

It is an interdisciplinary program of four years, organized around literatures and cultures of the French-speaking world, including France. We invite candidates with a traditional master's degree in French studies, as well as candidates whose course has been less typical, provided that their file meets the requirements of the School of Graduate Studies (SGS).
