Syndicate: new French studies programme

["Sally Jane Norman" <norman@wanadoo.fr>]

Dear Syndicate

A new doctoral programme is about to be launched (opening this autumn) in
France, jointly run by the Ecole sup?rieure de l'image (Esi, Angoul?me/
Poitiers) and the Universit? de Poitiers (Human and Social Sciences
department). It consists of a one-year Dipl?me d'?tudes approfondies - a
post-master's programme which, in the French system, constitutes the first
phase of doctoral dissertation work - with PhD enrolment thereafter for
those interested. Good knowledge of the French language is imperative -
enough to follow the ground course (150 hours approximately), to submit the
DEA (in French, to a French-speaking jury); thereafter, doctoral students
may write their dissertation in English, but must provide a detailed summary
in French and, likewise, ensure a "soutenance" (thesis defence) in French.

The focus of the programme is a strange animal called "DIGITAL ARTS", which
clearly means everything and nothing, but the school website has a
description with areas of specialisation, notably being developed by the
Ecole sup?rieure de l'image. The description includes information about
prerequisites, admission process (selection based on a "dossier" submitted
to a jury), and a course outline. Other information will be coming soon -
formal validation from the university side is imminent, and will allow us to
get into nitty gritty specs including deadlines and fees (by way of
indication, these will probably be close to Esi's current fees, of ?540 per
annum).

Please pass on this info to anyone who may be interested, with thanks
