Program details

Overview

The Doctorat en traduction is a 90-credit PhD offering advanced research training in translation studies, with specialization in translatology or terminology. Coursework combines multidisciplinary seminars and specialized courses drawing on history, sociology, politics, women's studies, cognitive science and natural language processing. Candidates typically enter with a master's degree in translation. Unlike some other doctoral programs at the university, applicants may apply without having already confirmed a research director, provided one is confirmed within a prescribed timeframe. The program is offered full-time or part-time, with the possibility of a study-abroad term, and admits students in the fall term.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants typically hold a master's degree in translation. French-language proficiency is required at an average of C1 in oral and written comprehension, with written expression at the upper range of B2; applicants educated entirely in French may satisfy this through their academic record, while others must submit results from an approved French-proficiency test. The application must include a research project of three to five pages. Candidates may apply without having confirmed a research director but must do so within a prescribed timeframe.
