Applicants holding a master's degree must submit a statement of purpose in French (maximum 500 words) which clearly outlines the area in which the applicant intends to pursue research in French literature or linguistics.

Admission to the PhD program is available via one of two routes:
an appropriate bachelor's degree with high academic standing from a recognized university, that includes at least seven (7.0) full-course equivalents in French language and literature / Linguistics, with an average grade of at least an A in the overall program. Admission is limited to exceptionally qualified applicants.
an appropriate master's degree in French Literature/Linguistics with high academic standing from a recognized university, with an average grade of at least an A in the applicant's overall program.
An A average does not automatically lead to admission. Each dossier is studied by the departmental Graduate Admissions Committee, where all the elements of each application are taken into account.
Applicants must demonstrate to the Department that they are capable of independent research in French Literature/Linguistics at an advanced level.

Two academic letters of recommendation must be submitted by respondents. You will need to provide two email contacts. Please contact your referees in advance to confirm the contact information. After payment, your referees will be contacted by email and asked to submit their recommendation electronically.
A specimen of written work in French done as part of your undergraduate degree must be submitted electronically to the SGS online admissions application.
A Letter of Intent in French must also be submitted electronically indicating whether you intend the MA to be a final degree or whether you intend to proceed subsequently to the PhD. You should also outline the area in which you intend to pursue your program in French literature or linguistics.
