The Doctoral program in French Studies (DEF-UCM) was founded in 2010 after the merger of two previous doctoral programs that coexisted within the former Department of French Philology of the UCM: Literature and Plastic Arts and Structure and function of stable linguistic units: phraseologism and paremias. Its objective is to promote the training of highly qualified researchers in linguistics and literature -French and Francophone-, trained for innovation and the progress of knowledge, thanks to the teaching and research experience of the doctoral faculty linked to the program. Its ultimate goal is to obtain the title of Doctor of French Studies. The Doctoral Program in French Studies, accredited by ANECA, has had the Mention for Excellence since 2011 (BOE of October 20, 2011).

Admission Requirements
If you are from an EU country, you will have access if you hold a bachelor's degree, or equivalent, from a Spanish university or from a university in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and a university Masters degree. You may also apply if you have a minimum number of 300 ECTS credits, of which at least 60 (one academic year) must be at Masters level. ECTS are credits recognised in the European Higher Education Area and are equivalent to 25-30 hours of work.
If you are a graduate from outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) you can access the university without the need to certify your degrees, once the UCM verified that the level of studies is equivalent to a Masters degree at a university in Spain. Access via this route does not in any case imply the official certification of your degree prior to starting your Masters course.
To complete your doctoral studies you will need to present a doctoral thesis consisting of an original work of research by the student in any field of knowledge.
