(This program is offered in French only.)
The Department of French offers graduate programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts (MA) in French literature (with dissertation or thesis) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in French literature.
The Department also participates in several multidisciplinary programs: women’s studies (at the master’s level), medieval and Renaissance studies (at the master’s level), and Canadian studies (at the doctoral level), which allows students to acquire a specialization in one of these areas.
NOTE: The University of Ottawa offers a partial tuition fee waiver scholarship to French-speaking international students. This significant contribution to financing their study project allows for a considerable reduction in tuition fees.
To benefit from the partial exemption scholarship, international students must:
- accept an offer of admission to a program of study offered only in French;
OR
- have completed secondary or post-secondary studies in French for at least two years and have obtained their diploma; And
- register for compulsory courses in French if these courses are given in both official languages (French and English ).
