Program details

Overview

The Individualized Doctorate (Doctorat sur mesure) is a 90-credit, third-cycle program designed for particular and exceptional situations where no standard UQAR doctoral program fits a student's research needs. The 90 credits comprise a minimum of 14 credits of coursework and doctoral examination and a minimum of 60 credits of thesis and related research activities. Specific objectives are individually defined by the student together with their research supervisor rather than following a fixed curriculum. Applicants must secure a research supervisor before being admitted to the program. Full-time and part-time study are available at the Levis and Rimouski campuses, with admission offered in the fall, winter, and summer trimesters at Universite du Quebec a Rimouski.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.20 / 4.3

Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a master's degree, obtained with a cumulative average of at least 3.2 on 4.3 or equivalent during their second-cycle studies. Applicants must secure a research supervisor's acceptance before admission to the program. French language proficiency must be demonstrated; applicants who cannot demonstrate this must pass an approved French test and may need to complete a French course.
