Join an intensive research unit and open doors to careers that meet the needs of the current job market with the PhD in French Studies program.
The program is rich in both theory and practice – you’ll be involved in cutting-edge research projects and experiential education opportunities in your choice of three fields of research: cultural studies in a francophone context, early modern French literary studies and theory, or electronic archiving, editing and publishing in a francophone context.
You’ll benefit from international conferences that are regularly organized by the department and a lecture series that provides you with the opportunity to meet top scholars from around the world.
You’ll be prepared to pursue a career in academia, teaching, or the public or private sectors with roles like translator/interpreter, intercultural consultant, language instructor, bilingual communications specialist, program coordinator for International organizations and NGOs, and bilingual program manager and customer relations.
