text: i would like to know french universities offering ph.d studies in english? i aminterested in taking ph.d studies in france and write my thesis in english i think it is presumptuous to ask a french university to teach in english.  why not simply go to an english or american university?  there are probably universities in canada, at least in quebec, that have both english and french classes, as that province is determinedly bilingual.  or is there an american or english university in france?  i know there have been such things in the past.
