    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Doctoral Degree

    Normally, applicants must have obtained a thesis-based Master's degree in the discipline to qualify as a doctoral student. Applicants must have academic credentials consistent with being fully-qualified to undertake graduate work at the doctoral level. The categories of probationary or qualifying student do not apply at the doctoral level. An applicant who does not have sufficient background training or courses prerequisite to scholarly work in the particular subject of study and research will not be admitted as a doctoral student. An applicant may be admitted as a Master's student and be required to undertake specific courses toward establishing appropriate credentials, but any graduate study undertaken for this purpose cannot be counted as time spent toward formal requirements for the degree. Alternatively, an applicant may be accepted at the Master's level as a means of illustrating suitability to enter a doctoral program, and after the first year may request, through the academic unit, a transfer to a PhD program. A comprehensive examination or equivalent is not a formal requirement of FGSR, but may be required by individual academic units.

    English Program Requirements

    English Proficiency Tests. International applicants, except those who attended universities where the language of instruction was English, must submit proof of English proficiency, usually in the form of recognized tests with the exception of applications to French language programs in La Cité universitaire francophone. The most common is TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Applicants must have a TOEFL score of at least 4 Internet-based, except as noted below. FGSR accepts the following tests:

    TOEFL iBT : 4 each band

    IELTS : 6.5 overall,6.0 each

    PTE : 59

    Duolingo: 125 overall, 120 each for Speaking, Writing, and Reading, 115 for Listening
