This PhD is a thesis-based doctoral program in the Department of French at Dalhousie University, allowing students to specialize in French literature, linguistics, or Francophone culture, with particular emphasis on contemporary and twentieth-century writing, including modern Quebec and Francophone literatures. Students pursue independent, supervisor-guided research leading to a dissertation. Admission normally requires a Master's (thesis) degree in French and excellent French oral and written proficiency. After admission, students must complete a minimum two-year Dalhousie residency, four full graduate credits, a second-language examination, and preliminary and comprehensive written and oral examinations before proceeding to the thesis and oral defence. The program is delivered in-person on a full-time basis, with intake in September. The Department of French oversees program-specific admission requirements alongside the university's general graduate admission standards.
