for becoming a candidate for the degree. On this point consult 

 more particularly what is stated below, under "Equivalences." 



The "doctorat de 1'universite" bears an indication of one of the 

 five lines of specialization, corresponding to the faculty in which 

 the studies are pursued, as Law, Medicine, Sciences, Letters, or 

 Pharmacy. Not all the Universities confer the degree in all these 

 lines of specialization, even when the University comprises a cor- 

 responding Faculty. For example, of the sixteen French Uni- 

 versities, two have no Faculty of Law (Besancon and Clermont- 

 Ferrand). Out of the remaining fourteen which possess such 

 Faculties, only seven confer the "doctorat de 1'universite, mention 

 Droit." 



In the following brief description of the "doctorat de I'univer- 

 site" in the different branches in which it is conferred, the attempt 

 has been simply to indicate the Universities in which the degree 

 is granted, the general requirements, and the range of fees. 



Doctorat de VUniversite, mention Droit. Conferred by the 

 Universities of Paris, Caen, Dijon, Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, and 

 Nancy. Open to foreign students only who present the French 

 diploma of "licence en droit," or who obtain from the Faculty, 

 on the basis of diplomas or degrees earned abroad, an equivalence 

 therefor. The term of study required is one year, except in the 

 Universities of Caen and Lille where it is two years. The prepara- 

 tion and defence of a thesis, and oral (sometimes also written) 

 examinations on problems or subject matter indicated in advance 

 by the Faculty. The total fees for matriculation or ' ' inscriptions, ' ' 

 examinations, thesis, and diploma vary from 161 to 380 francs, 

 according to the University. 



Doctorat de VUniversite, mention Medecine. Conferred by the 

 Universities of Paris, Alger, Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Montpellier, 

 Nancy, Toulouse. Open to foreign students only who have 

 obtained an equivalence of the " baccalaureat de 1'enseignement 

 secondaire." The prescribed course of study of five years, the 

 examinations and the fees are the same as for the corresponding 

 degree conferred by the State. Those who have already fulfilled 

 abroad some of the requirements may be given credit for it in the 

 French curriculum ("equivalence de scolarite"). 



Doctorat de I'Universite, mention Sciences. Conferred by the 

 Universities of Paris, Aix-Marseille, Besancon, Bordeaux, Cler- 

 mont-Ferrand, Dijon, Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, Montpellier, Nancy
