The Doctorate in Letters (Doctorat en lettres) is a 90-credit, third-cycle program offered jointly with UQAC and UQTR, enabling students to develop an autonomous research project that makes an original contribution to theoretical, methodological, critical, and historical knowledge in the field of letters, including literature, language, and textual, discursive, and visual practices such as theatre, cinema, philosophy, art history, and media discourse. Research-creation theses are permitted. The 90 credits comprise three one-credit seminars and a six-credit synthesis exam, 9 credits of optional coursework, and a 72-credit thesis. Seminars are delivered in person at UQAR during the day and evening, alongside online seminars from partner universities and an intensive doctoral seminar held over three weekends in Quebec City. The program is non-contingent, open to international students, and offered at Universite du Quebec a Rimouski.
