Course overview

The PhD Program in French Studies provides students with a contemporary and specialised education and gives them the opportunity to acquire scientific expertise in the rich cultural field of French Studies. The PhD program in French Studies gives the opportunity to explore the linguistic and literary richness of a French tradition in constant revitalization through the perspective of various theoretical and methodological approaches, thus connecting the expected creativity and originality of a doctoral dissertation with the requirements of epistemological, technical and deontological norms.
